Living in Hollywood Beach: A Local Guide

Hollywood Beach sits between Fort Lauderdale and Miami and offers something rare in South Florida: a relaxed, walkable beach town with easy access to two major cities. Here is what life looks like for the people who live here.

The Broadwalk

The heart of Hollywood Beach is the Broadwalk, a car-free promenade that runs for about two and a half miles along the ocean. Residents walk, run and cycle here every morning, and in the evening it fills with people heading to the cafes and restaurants that line the beach.

Beaches and parks

The beach is wide and easy to reach from almost every building. Families enjoy Charnow Park and its splash pad, while nature lovers head to the Anne Kolb Nature Center at West Lake Park for kayaking and trails through the mangroves.

Dining and entertainment

From casual beach bars to oceanfront dining, the Broadwalk has options for every day of the week. A short drive west, downtown Hollywood adds galleries, live music and events around ArtsPark at Young Circle.

Getting around

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is only a short drive away, and both Fort Lauderdale and Miami are within easy reach. Many residents find they can do most daily errands on foot or by bike.

Homes in Hollywood Beach

The area offers a wide range of homes, from boutique low-rise buildings and classic beachfront condos to luxury oceanfront towers with resort-style amenities. Just across the Intracoastal, neighborhoods such as Hollywood Lakes offer single-family homes with yards and pools.
