About Hollywood FL and its beaches

We get this info from the Hollywood Florida wiki:

“Hollywood is a city in Broward County, Florid. As of July 1, 2008, the population estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau is 141,740. Founded in 1925, the city grew rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s, and is now the twelfth largest city in Florida. Hollywood is a Principal City of the South Florida metropolitan area, which is home to 5,413,212 people.”

The Hollywood FL visitors bureau site says the following about the boardwalk:

“Named one of America’s top ten nostalgic promenades by USA Today, the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is more than 2 miles long, featuring a bricklined pedestrian promenade that combines dramatic coastal views of award-winning Blue Wave beaches with the nostalgic feel of a Main Street thoroughfare.

Hollywood’s oceanfront Broadwalk offers miles of car-free enjoyment. Walkers, runners, bicyclists and rollerbladers set their own pace on this path, which is bordered by six miles of Hollywood’s famous coastline, boutique hotels, charming shops, cafés and places to eat facing the ocean.

Gear up for a game of sand volleyball or beachfront paddleball. Clear your head with group yoga or Tai Chi classes. When the sun sets, cool tropical sounds can be heard at the outdoor Beach Theater that hosts a full season of live musical performances, festivals and cultural events.

Still, the most popular pastime on the beach is simply savoring the charming character of this truly unique setting. Comfortable sun beds and cabanas are available for rent, so reserve a day for relaxing to the sound of soothing waves. The fresh ocean air will carry you into a state of pure bliss.”

The site also says this about the beaches in general:

“Hollywood Beach has been designated as a Blue Wave Clean Beach by The Clean Beaches Council. The designation recognizes the City of Hollywood’s efforts to manage its public beach responsibly with a focus on protecting human health and the environment. As a result, ours is one of the most pleasant and attractive of all South Florida beaches, and it draws visitors from Fort Lauderdale to Miami thanks to the revamped boardwalk running beside it.

A certified clean beach is a Blue Wave designated beach that is managed responsibly, with a focus on protection of human health and the environment. Clean beaches are relatively free of litter, have handicap accessibility and public restroom facilities, clearly demonstrate to the public laws and information on the beach and its management, and have swimmable waters.”

Here is some more info on local attractions:

“Our beach town is bursting with things to do! South Florida offers a lot to vacationers, from sand and sun to unique cultural events. Hollywood possesses its own distinctive mix, with easy access to the beach, enticing nature spots, and a host of nearby Fort Lauderdale attractions.

The Anne Kolb Nature Center is a must-see for nature and water-sports enthusiasts. On the other end of the spectrum, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is the ideal spot the dining, entertainment, and nightlife crowd. Art lovers will enjoy the Hollywood Broadwalk and its seasonal festivals right along the beach, while Historic Downtown features unique shops and restaurants and is adjacent to the 10-acre ArtsPark at Young Circle. There’s fun and excitement for the entire family to be found in these Hollywood, Florida attractions, all mere minutes from the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.”

New Hollywood Beach Hotel Part of Overall Resurgence of Florida Beachfront Community

by admin on December 15, 2010

Everyone’s heard of Hollywood California, but what about Hollywood Florida? This lovely beach town in South Florida has saw some hard times a few decades ago but has been making a real comeback. A newly announced Hollywood beach hotel will be part of that comeback. We get this from the Miami Herald article in the topic:

With names like Ocean Mist, The Blue Wave and the Sun and Sea, the once-blighted mom-and-pop motels and small hotels on Hollywood beach are riding a wave of change that is beginning to transform one of the few quaint beach towns left in South Florida.

Visitors still can grab a beer for $2, a large cheese for under $10 and a motel room in season for a humble $59. For the cost of parking, a frugal family can bury its toes on the sandy side of one of the most beautiful oceanfront promenades in the country.

On Wednesday, Hollywood commissioners gave their blessing for Margaritaville, a vast 17-story resort hotel that promises to change the face of the beach.

The Jimmy Buffett-themed resort won’t break ground for another year, but visitors and locals already are waking up to the clatter of saws, hammers and construction trucks.

Hollywood FL beach hotels — the other Hollywood

by admin on April 11, 2010

There was a fun article recently in a Delaware newspaper about “the other Hollywood” — namely Hollywood Florida. As the article note, Hollywood Florida is a lovely little beach community with quite a few nice beach hotels to choose from. Here are some excerpts from that article:

A low-key, friendly town located on Florida’s Atlantic coast, it is unpretentious and un-glitzy.

Located right between two high-profile resorts — Fort Lauderdale to the north, and Miami to the south — Hollywood takes pride in its small-town charm. This low-key Hollywood was named an “All-America City 2007” by the National Civic League.

One example of its special ambience is the popular beach promenade known as the Broadwalk. It’s indeed broad and an ample 27-feet-wide, so there’s plenty of space for a separate lane for bikes, as well as the wider lane for walking. Stretching for two-and-a-half miles, the Broadwalk is a colorful brick-lined oceanside promenade, the most extensive along Florida’s East Coast.

Strolling on this promenade, pedestrians are practically on the beach. This is not an elevated walkway as in Atlantic City, N.J., or Ocean City, N.J. Instead, it’s flush with the beach, which is just steps away.

This beach, studded with palm trees, is a 5-mile expanse of soft sand and clear ocean water which was voted Florida’s best beach by Florida Living magazine. It’s also earned the distinction of “Blue Wave Beach,” an award given to selected beaches by the Clean Beach Council.

And the Broadwalk has its own claim to fame. It’s been named one of American’s Top 10 nostalgic promenades by USA Today.
