The night before last, a good friend of ours invited us to accompany her to Hollywood Beach for a Drum Circle. We had never been to one and were excited to go. There was a Full Moon predicted for that evening so that made it very special to us. We drove north on A1A to Hollywood until we reached Perry Street and then searched for a parking spot. It was not easy to find. The trail to the beach was not easy to travel either so those with walking disabilities would be advised to be cautious. You can probably make it to the beach but explore it first or use a walking stick. You can find more information about the Drum Circle by contacting @EventBrite.com and search for Hollywood Beach Drum Circle. We enjoyed our experience so much. The leader brought extra drums for those who wanted to drum. Other brought their own. All age groups participated. It is more of a quiet crowd. It was cold that night and luckily we brought a jacket. We got there just before sunset and stayed to see the full moon. What a gorgeous sight that was! The drumming was very soul touching. We will join our friend again next time she goes. Do bring a blanket to sit on or a beach chair. Bring snacks if you like. Be comfortable. Be warm. Let your stress go.

It is the second week of April and Hollywood Beach is already busting with beach goers. This beach is 2.5 miles long, and so is it's pretty active boardwalk. Despite the fair amount of people, it is still super clean, the sand is white and very comfortingly soft. You can walk with bare feet without any concern that a sharp rock or shell would cut you. It's not a bad idea to use caution anyway. The palm trees are plentiful along the entire beach, you might even find some coconuts hanging from some. Be sure to exercise sun safety and use a high SPF, bring your own umbrella or you may rent one. Don't count on the palm trees as a source of shade. The water is super clean and surprisingly super warm for this time of year. There is a bit of seaweed, but nothing significant that would keep me away. Hollywood Beach is a very clean and family friendly beach.

Mmmm...fantastic beach...over ridden with RED TIDE and ALGAE back about 7 years ago...I wonder how that sweeping bloom started coming ashore.... I mean, to be honest with you... from a nutritional standpoint, certain algae is very good for you when ingested, but in the air... it's a respiratory nightmare. Naturally, the FL government at the time decided to spread mass panic instead of awareness. Solid choice. High five to that guy. Anyway, I'm always trying to look out for people and help whoever is in charge run the show right. I mean, I don't care what color the guy was running under. The algae was red, my swimsuit was blue, my fingernails are purple...and statistically, only men are color blind. Yelp, it's a mess!

Awesome place to run, walk, stroll, swim, eat,imbibe or just hang out for the day! Lots of local restaurants and bars, even a brewpub. City does a good job of cleaning beach and scrubbing broad walk every morning. Nice little parks along way. City parking garages available south of Sheridan and street parking. Note No Dogs on beach Great place for family day or visit Margaritaville! 5 Stars.

Well, this area has improved a lot since Margaritaville Resort moved in. The beach is pretty clean. The water is not always so but that is another story. I like how they have buckets for people to collect trash. This definitely helps keep the sand in better shape. There are a lot of restaurants on the Broadwalk. The only one I really recommend is across A1-A. That is Le Tub. The restaurants on the beach are not too exciting to me. They have live music by the Clamshell most days. People like to sing and dance. There are also several video cameras that live feed onto Hollywood Beach Cam YouTube channel. So next time you walk on the Broadwalk, friends and family might see you on YouTube walking by.

Hollywood Beach is a fun place. When I want a touristy beach day, I come here. You have the boardwalk (sadly, not actually made of boards) which has plenty of food and drink options. Plus, I love that the ocean is right next to the boardwalk. There's often live music at the bandshell across from Margaritaville. Parking is kinda high and the beach can get kinda crowded, especially on weekends.

Stopped by Hollywood Beach and had a pleasant time. There are plenty of garages, for parking, and the area is kept clean, with law enforcement on the beach and roadways. We stopped by Margaritaville and saw lots of people trying to conquer the "Flowrider." The beach is immaculate and they do a fabulous job at having plenty of beach chairs for rent. That also includes opportunities to go parasailing or jet skiing. You could walk for quite a while and stroll past many eateries, souvenir stores, and entertainment. I highly recommend Hollywood Beach. You'll have an enjoyable time and have plenty to do.

For a beach day, or lunch/dinner I love Hollywood beach. It's beautiful, peaceful, clean, nearby parking everywhere. On the south end is better for relaxing on the beach, but farther north is "where the action is" :)

This is a beach that reminds me of the beach I used to go to a lot from home. That is Venice Beach in California. I enjoy walking on the boardwalk on Hollywood Beach. There are people from all over the world who come here to enjoy this beach. I also like to go in the water. It is relaxing with the pretty white birds along the shore. The maintenance staff keeps the beach looking spiffy. I often see someone picking up trash that beachgoers leave behind. The restaurant selection along the beach could be better. I do like Florios Pizza the best out of the bunch. The cheese had a good flavor. Afterward I like to get an ice cream cone. There are many places to choose from. There are many types of shops to browse. This is a less hectic beach compared to Miami Beach. It has it's own charm.

My favorite hometown beach. It is a family-friendly beach. It is one friendly beach. You have so many things you can do around this beach. You can have a drink, rent bicycles, take a nice walk, eat at a casual or nice restaurant, listen to live music, have the kids play in the park, and much more. The beach is clean and nice. It is one of the places where the city of Hollywood holds festivals. They do allow dogs on Surf Rd designated dates. That is the doggie beach. That is a nice street. You have to get permits from the Rangers a daily pass or a six-month pass. They also give you the park rules. The beach has public meter parking. I think 3 parking garages now and parking between the streets. During special events and dates, this beach gets crazy crowded. the city offers special transportation. you normally have to park downtown and take the transport. It is worth taking this option and avoiding the high parking rates that come with every special event.
