We spent a couple of days at Hollywood Beach - good parking $24 for the whole day, on the beach head to the Boucher Brothers area for a cabana package $40 for cabana and two loungers and if you are there between Monday and Thursday, ask for George who will get you settled and update you on where to go etc. We spent two separate days there, make sure you go to George's mart by the rest rooms for massive ice creams, great value at $2.49 a pot, also fresh coffee for £2.15. For dinner I would recommend a stroll along the boulevardup to Margaritaville and the Landshark Bar and Grill, a great place to dine overlooking the beach. The dips and chips are great and refillable and the perfect margartias are actually perfect. Enjoy

We loved Hollywood Beach! It was raining/drizzling when we went, but we still enjoyed it. I highly recommend visiting if you prefer a pretty beach that is more low-key and less crowded than South Beach and some of the other southern beaches. There is a broadwalk adjacent with lots of shops for an easy bite to eat or just to walk along and enjoy the beautiful scenery. West Lake Park and the Anne Kolb Nature Center are a short drive from here. We went there after and it was a neat contrast. At West Lake you can rent kayaks and kayak through mangrove “trails” it was beautiful with lots of wildlife such as birds and crabs.

We ventured out at 7:30 a.m. for a little beach time. We knew that social distancing should provide for a quieter beach. It was also a weekday and we planned our visit for low tide. We accessed Hollywood Beach just east of Billy Stone crabs on Taylor Street. We had the beach practically to ourselves. There was no seaweed and virtually no wave. We wore our masks going to the beach and noticed those people moving around us were also wearing masks. Yes there was some plastic debris here and there in the sand but by far it was clean. When we left at 10:30 a.m. a slow trickle of people had begun to arrive. One last nite, there's a shower to rinse sand on the boardwalk.
