Hollywood Beach is one of South Florida's most beloved stretches of sand, and the Broadwalk that runs alongside it is unlike anything else in the region.
What Is the Broadwalk?
The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is a 2.5-mile paved promenade that runs along the ocean from Sheridan Street to the north end of Hollywood Beach. Unlike a traditional boardwalk, it is paved with a brick-like surface, making it smooth for walking, biking, jogging, and rollerblading. It has been named one of the best beach boardwalks in America by outlets including Travel Channel and National Geographic.
What to Do on the Broadwalk
The Broadwalk is lined with activity. You will find restaurants with ocean views, tiki bars serving tropical drinks, ice cream shops, souvenir stores, and street performers. On weekends, live music fills the air from multiple venues. Bike rentals are available if you want to cruise the full length. The beach itself offers volleyball courts, water sports rentals, and miles of wide, clean sand.
Best Times to Visit
Early mornings are perfect for joggers and those who want a peaceful walk with sunrise views. Late afternoons and evenings bring the energy, with restaurants filling up and music starting. Weekdays are naturally less crowded than weekends.
Parking Tips
Metered parking is available along A1A and in several public lots. Rates vary by season, so check the meters carefully. Arriving before 10 AM on weekends gives you the best chance at a close spot.
