💡 Tips

  • The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is pedestrian and bike-only. Rent a cruiser bike early in the morning to avoid the heavy crowds.
  • Use the Hollywood Sun Shuttle (an on-demand electric transit service) for a convenient ride between the beach and downtown.
  • Oceanfront parking is expensive. Look for the city-operated parking garages slightly inland for much better hourly rates.
  • Downtown Hollywood features a great Mural Project. Take a walk around Young Circle to discover lively street art.
