Located on Florida’s southeast coast, just south of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood is a large yet laid-back beach town with vibrant arts and culture, a beautiful coastline and an active community.
One of Hollywood’s most distinctive features is the 2.5-mile-long Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, a paved walkway that runs along the edge of the beach, separating it from the shops and restaurants on the other side. Visitors can walk, jog, bike or rollerblade along the Broadwalk while taking in views of one of South Florida’s most beautiful beaches.
With over 50 restaurants and 30 shops and boutiques, there’s plenty to explore around Hollywood Beach. Enjoy a burger at local waterfront favorite Le Tub, or shop at the year-round Yellow Green Farmers Market on weekends, featuring over 200 food and drink stalls.
Beyond the beaches, Hollywood has numerous parks offering outdoor recreational opportunities. Families with children should visit the Anne Kolb Nature Center on the Intracoastal Waterway, which features a 68-foot-tall observation tower, a 3,500-gallon aquarium and an interactive eco-room.
