Map and Directions to Hollywood Beach, Florida

OK so you are interested in visting Hollywood Beach but aren't sure exactly how to get there.  If you live outside of Florida, your best bet is to fly into Fort Lauderale airport (FLL).  As you leave Fort Lauderdale airport, head south on US1 about two and a half miles till you get to Sheridan Street.  Turn left onto Sheridan Street and proceed about two miles till you reach North Ocean Drive.  You will have to cross a bridge shortly before you reach the island.  After crossing the bridge, the north end of Hollywood Beach or North Beach Park will be across the street.  You can park there but the center of Hollywood Beach is actually about a mile to the south at Johnson Street where the main parking deck is.  There is another parking deck at Connecticut Street.  Most side streets also offer limited parking as well. 

If you are driving from within Florida, take I-95 to the Hollywood Boulevard exit and head east.  Drive about three miles east along Hollywood Boulevard till you reach Ocean Drive.  You will have to cross a bridge shortly before reaching the island.  As you cross the bridge, merge into the lane which takes you north to Hollywood Beach.  You will see the Ramada Hollywood in front of you.  As you exit onto Ocean Drive, head north about a half mile till you reach the Johnson Street parking deck.  This is considered the center of Hollywood Beach.  If traffic is heavy there is limited parking on the side streets and additional parking areas further north at Connecticut Street and North Beach Park.
