About Hollywood Beach
Hollywood Beach, in Broward County on Florida's southeast coast, is best known for its Broadwalk — a brick-paved oceanfront promenade lined with cafes and shops running for more than two miles.

Rip currents are Florida’s deadliest beach hazard, so check the safety flag and rip-current risk above, follow posted flags, and swim near a lifeguard.
