I just got back today to buffalo ny from hollywood beach and stayed at Margaritaville for a week. I had an ocean front room on the 18th floor and it was AMAZING !! The view was incredible ! We sat on our balcony and watched the concerts in the hollywood theater right out back on the beach ..Sound was incredible ! We didnt even get a rental car..All we wanted or needed was right there!!! Ate at Landshark a few times and margaritaville a few time.. rented a cabana at one of the pools on two different days and had a towel guy plus a server for the day.. Had lunch brought out....Cant wait to go back. I have gone to Clearwater beach for years but with the red tide issues decided to go to Hollywood instead ...SOOOOOOOo glad we did!!!!

We visited Fort Lauderdale on the May 21st and stayed till the 25th. We stayed with a friend who took us every where including Hollywood beach, of course do the pandemic and state shutdown we did not get the full experience. But on the day we returned home my friend called to convince us to put an offer on his neighbor's condo, so we did and it was excepted. In two weeks our home in NJ is going on the market and in 3 months we will be Dolphin Isle residents and we will call Fort Lauderdale home. We are excited for a future in the sunshine sate.

I’m from the UK and my family and I have vacationed in Florida for the last 3 years. In August 2018 we did Miami for 5 days then we drove to Treasure island where we spent another five days then finally we drove to Margarittaville Hollywood Beach and stayed there for four days. We really enjoyed Margarittaville although the beach was my least favourite out of the three locations we visited. Miami was fantastic and has always held a special place in my heart-it’s just damn expensive for nice accommodation and going out for meals with a family of 4.Treasure Island was also amazing-so quiet with a beautiful beach and we are returning there in August 2019 where we’ll spend two weeks. Great video!

Lots of traffic and some sketchy areas inland. If you don't mind that it's really convenient to have Miami half hour south and Fort Lauderdale 10 minutes north. We go to Key Largo a lot to go snorkeling on a catamaran it's an hour and a half from Hollywood Beach. Best snorkeling I ever had and I've snorkeled everywhere in the Caribbean and Tahiti and Hawaiii.

normaj39ami I will post a video soon, but there are tons of little two story Motels, some older some renovated, just check booking.com and you’ll see more. There is a Marriott as well, very nice. The beach here is a light sand, sometimes whiter looking and sometimes sandier, but typically the water should be clear and turquoise but in these last years, periodically there has been terrible seaweed problems, but recently it has cleared up! I have been to the beach on gulf coast as well and in destin you will find beautiful white beaches and in Naples as well. Those areas can be very expensive, but that’s most places on the beach in Florida.

Tasmar Ok, so Hollywood Beach is not necessarily known for fish & chips (neither is south Florida for that matter). What it is known for is seafood in general. Although the broadwalk does offer seafood it tends to be more mom & pop tourists places (which are ok). Nick's is a decent place to get some lobster, fish or the like. If you want good quality seafood, a better bet would be along the inter-coastal waterway (just a couple of blocks west). Places like GG's or Billy's stone crab. Hope you enjoy your time & your meal!
