Major city · United States

Hollywood, FloridaHollywood

Base on Hollywood Beach for 2–3 nights: the Broadwalk is the trip. Skip it if you want a city — Miami and Fort Lauderdale do that better.

  • North America ↗Crossing between the US, Canada and Mexico by land needs your passport even on a day trip; rental cars need the company's written permission to cross, and most US and Canadian rental insurance stops at the Mexican border.
  • North America ↗Cannabis is legal in Canada and in many US states, but taking any amount across the US, Canadian or Mexican border is a federal crime — including edibles and vapes.
  • North America ↗The busiest US and Canadian national parks need timed-entry, campsite or lodge reservations in summer; release dates are months ahead.
  • United States ↗Check whether you need an ESTA (Visa Waiver Program) or a visa on the official CBP and State Department sites; apply only through esta.cbp.dhs.gov, not third-party sites, and allow time before you book.
  • United States ↗Several popular national parks use timed-entry or vehicle reservations in peak season; check each park's page on nps.gov and book on recreation.gov before fixing your dates.
  • United States ↗Medical care is very expensive for visitors; buy travel insurance with high medical cover before you fly.
  • United States ↗Tipping is expected: about 15–20% at sit-down restaurants and bars, and a tip for taxis, hotel staff and guides.

Hollywood sits between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, and its reason to exist for a traveller is a 4 km oceanfront Broadwalk — a paved pedestrian and bike path with the beach on one side and low-rise hotels, bars and pizza counters on the other. Downtown, 5 km inland, is small and walkable but secondary. Two nights covers the beach properly; three if you add a day trip. A car helps for everything except the Broadwalk itself.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

Getting around

The Broadwalk is walkable and bikeable end to end. Everything else needs a car, a rideshare or a bus: Broward County Transit runs along the coast and downtown, but slowly. Tri-Rail commuter trains link Hollywood with Fort Lauderdale, Miami and West Palm Beach; Amtrak stops here too. Rent a car away from the airport for a lower rate.

See & do

Day-trips, door to door

Day-trips

Door-to-door, not ride time

Fort Lauderdale

go

Door to door: About 45–60 min

Tri-Rail or Brightline from Hollywood, or 25–35 min by car on I-95

Las Olas, the water taxi and a bigger beach scene; easy half day.

Miami Beach and South Beachgo

Door to door: About 1 h

Car on I-95 then I-195, or Tri-Rail to Metrorail

Go early; parking is the hard part.

Hallandale Beach

go

Door to door: About 15–20 min

Car or rideshare south on A1A or US-1

Gulfstream Park racing and the Big Easy casino sit just over the line.

Pompano Beach

caution

Door to door: About 40–50 min

Tri-Rail north, or 25 min by car on I-95

Similar beach to Hollywood's; only worth it if you want a change.

Deerfield Beach

caution

Door to door: About 1 h

Tri-Rail to Deerfield Beach station, then a short rideshare

A full beach day, not a quick stop.

Eat & sleep

Which area to sleep in

Where to sleep

Areas, not hotels: pick the one that fits your arrival time and plans.

Hollywood Beach / Broadwalk

The only area worth paying a premium for: step out onto the path, beach and food on foot.

Downtown Hollywood

Cheaper, walkable to restaurants and the art museum, but a 10–15 min drive or bus to the sand.

Seminole Hard Rock area (west)

Resort, casino and shows; car-dependent, no beach.

Watch out

Safety

Tourist areas along the ocean are calm by day and evening; use normal city sense after dark, keep to lit streets and don't leave valuables on the sand. The bigger real risks are the water — rip currents and jellyfish — and summer heat.
  • Rip currents and jellyfish: swim only near a lifeguard stand and follow the flag — green or yellow in, purple or red out.
  • If caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the shore, not against it.
  • Hurricane season runs Jun–Nov; check forecasts and insurance before booking late summer.
  • Beach parking fills by mid-morning on weekends; arrive early or walk from your hotel.
