About Hollywood

The Broadwalk is Hollywood's front porch: a brick promenade nearly 2.5 miles long with cyclists, cafés, ice cream and free music at the beach theatre, and a wide guarded beach in front of it all. It's lively without South Beach's glitz, and very popular with families.

Charnow Park's splash fountains keep small children busy, and at the north end the city's Dog Beach is open daily.
