Other places to ask
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission keeps a statewide list of wheelchair-friendly beaches, which also lists Hollywood and Oleta River State Park. FWC says the list is updated over time, so call the beach before you rely on it. We couldn't confirm the Hollywood or Sunny Isles programmes on the cities' own pages, so we don't give their details here.
