One of my all-time favorite beaches for a laid-back family day!
Hollywood Beach in Fort Lauderdale has everything you could want—soft white sand, clear water, and parking just steps from the shore that stretches the entire length of the beach. The boardwalk is a dream: lined with cute boutiques, souvenir shops, restaurants, and beach bars, all running parallel to the ocean.
There’s so much to do beyond the sand, too—public restrooms, a splash pad and playground for kids, and even a beachfront performing arts center with live music and events. Chair and umbrella rentals are available, and parking is usually super convenient, even on busy days.
The beach itself is always clean, the water is beautiful, and the atmosphere is chill but lively. Whether you’re going for a family beach day or a morning stroll with a coffee, this spot is a total gem.
