Visiting Hollywood Beach Broadwalk

About Hollywood Beach Broadwalk

A brick-paved promenade of about 4 km beside the beach in Hollywood, with a separate cycle lane and a line of cafés, bars and ice-cream shops. It has a more casual, old-Florida feel than Fort Lauderdale's beachfront, and is popular with French-Canadian visitors in winter.
