    Hollywood North Beach Park is a 56 acre beachfront park acquired by Broward County in 1988 . The park is located at A1A and Sheridan Street and has access to 1.1 miles of beaches along the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. Fees to enter the park are all day, $10 per vehicle; after 2 p.m. $6 per vehicle; and premium parking $20 per vehicle. distinguishes this park, which also offers historic Carpenter House to rent for small private events. Park amenities include fishing piers, ADA accessible raised boardwalk to the beach, an exercise path, a 60 foot tower, the Turtle Cafe, and sea turtle exhibits at the historic Carpenter House which can be rented for private events. There are several picnic areas with grills. This is a really nice beach park as far as they go in Broward. I like being able to pay a flat rate and not have to feed the meter but I wouldn't come here unless it was late in the afternoon or I was planning on staying all day. If I had the choice I would always pick a gulf Florida west coast beach over the Atlantic east coast. The water and beaches are so much nicer and they offer all of these amenities. Most towns on the west coast do not charge for beach parking. Since I am usually going to the beach locally this is a pretty good one and the Hollywood boardwalk is nearby.

    Shells for the heart!

    Nice beach if you don't want to park further down. It's $6 after 2 and they close at 6pm. Lots of shade and trees. Iguanas everywhere. Walk the trails over to the beach. Great for families. Beach is clean. Water was warm for January and not as crowded as other beaches close by.

    Love Hollywood beach but only the secluded areas away from the sounds of people chattering and people crowded like a can of sardines. I love the sound of the ocean and the waves breaking and just the peacefulness of the quiet sound of the ocean so relaxing so soothing almost makes me feel like one with the Earth and indeed I am earthing , grounding so they say. This is one of the sounds of solfeggio.. At this time of the day the beautiful pinks in the sky come out and what a beauty it is to behold . Parking here is 4.00 and hour and no where is a bathroom nearby but at least during the day there are life guards to keep a watchful eye on you .I came here to chill and gather my thoughts .Always nice when you have beautiful sound and fresh air and wind caressing your face and body . Come check out this beach at different times and your experience will tell it all.

    This was our first time here today and we really enjoyed the place. Only $10 admission and the woman checking us in at the gate was super friendly and informative; you are even allowed to leave the park and come back in on the same day. Lots of parking spots, and we chose one near a set of rest/change rooms that were very clean. The beach is only a few minutes walk from the parking lot. It wasn't too busy, and it's a super long beach, so we easily social distanced. The water was a bit rough but bearable. The water temp in early November was perfect There was no foot or body showers near the rest/change rooms so we brushed off before leaving in the car. On our way out, we noticed a concessions place that we will have to check out on our next visit.

    This park is the perfect place to enjoy easy access to both Hollywood beach/broadwalk and dania beach- situated just at the north end of the broadwalk path. Take Sheridan st all the way east and you will arrive here. It is 10$ to park all day until sunset ($6 if arriving after 2pm) which is much cheaper than the street or parking garage options along Hollywood beach- $3-$5/hour generally. This park offers an ample amount of grills and shaded areas with picnic tables- I will often grill here with friends (charcoal camping type grills; must bring your own everything) with the beach only a few steps away. Hollywood beach and the broadwalk offer more action, live music, and people watching- while dania beach is much more relaxed and has more empty space. They have bathrooms and water fountains at the park and used to have a restaurant/bar named Zack's snack shack which was my go to for barbecue in the area- they really were the best before they closed the location. The building is still there so hoping Zack' will return or something of equal caliber replaces them in the very near future. Great local park and highly recommend if you are hitting the beach in this area!

    Hollywood North Beach Park is the most East point of Sheridan Rd. This paid area sits right between the boardwalk and Hollywood Beach. I came here on a Saturday with family to spend some quality time. As for entrance fees, it is $10 to enter and park for the whole day or $6 if you come after 2pm. There are many tables under shaded trees and even barbeque grills! This spot is ideal for big parties or outdoor picnics. Everyone in South Florida seems to be taking advantage of the good weather before it gets unbearably hot in the summer. I was able to park in the front so I'm not quite sure how big the area extends but it was a short walk from the parking lot to the picnic tables. All you have to do to get to the beach is cross the boardwalk and you're already on the sand! Tip: you can bring your bike or skates to take onto the boardwalk or even rent some bikes there. Hollywood Beach is probably my favorite one in South Florida and this park solidifies it's spot at number 1!

    Came here with the fam for a much needed outdoor relaxing day. You pay to get in and social distancing is strictly enforced. They even close the entrance once they've reached new capacity limits. We walked (with masks) to the sand until we reached our post up spot. Set up our little canopy and begun our fun in the sun. It's important to still respect people's space but also to clean up after yourselves especially when it comes to plastic. No styrofoam coolers allowed period. We brought our own trash bags to empty out at the end of the day at the proper trash containers so we wouldn't have to constantly walk back and forth. This season seems even hotter than usual so dont forget the sunblock and all UV protectants. Alcohol is allowed but only in cans and there is a refreshment stand selling food and cold drinks as well. Enjoy the water, play in the sand, munch and drink, and most of all enjoy!

    Beach beach. Life is a beach if you make it. Have fun water is always nice. Don't forget to go out at night.

    We went last Saturday to this beach for a walk we had there. They normally charge for parking but not that day because of the run. Restrooms were clean, parking was clean and ample, with many lifeguard stations, and a great walkway to run/walk as you enjoy the gorgeous view of the beautiful Hollywood Beach.

    I've been in Florida for a little over a month now, and I have officially found my favorite beach in South Florida (probably until I visit Key West, but until then)! I made an early morning drive to Hollywood and parked in a garage. There are multiple public parking garages along Ocean Drive. It's not cheap! I pulled into the garage at 8:57am and left around noon = $16.00. There could be different rates and it may be cheaper if you can find street parking. When I first parked, the third floor wasn't full yet. When I came back, there were very few parking spots available. A short walk to the boardwalk, not bad at all. I entered a kind of dull spot on the boardwalk, but once I started walking, it just got better from there! Edy's, Subway, seafood, beach shops, bars, you name it, it's there right on the boardwalk. There are two lanes, the larger one is for walking traffic and the smaller one closer to the ocean is for bikes. I also saw skaters on the smaller lane as well. About every half mile is a public restroom. Don't expect them to be super clean as the toilet seats and floors will most likely be wet and sprinkled with sand. The cleanest public restroom that I found on the boardwalk was the one closest the Margaritaville. As you walk, you'll notice that there may be some buildings that need some work most likely due to Hurricane Irma. But all still beautiful and family-friendly! In fact, the environment at this beach reminds me of Virginia Beach. Lots of shops, things for kids and adults to do, and a beautiful, clean beach.

    The north part of Hollywood Beach is a great spot to enjoy the sand and ocean as well as other recreational activities. The boardwalk is very wide, so there is ample space for walking, running, skating, or biking especially during Covid times. You can find restaurants with outdoor dining. Parking available for $6 per car.

    Donuts an the beach (:

    Nice beach , clean , quiet, took a solid nap on the beach. Wasn't to crowded. Parking was hard to find but it's free . Ended up parking in a park which was nice pretty close to the beach too.

Keating Beach Park is off the beaten path at the far north end of the Hollywood Boardwalk. This park was named in honor of former Hollywood Mayor David Keating. He served as a City Commissioner and Mayor from 1961 to 1986. In 1963 he took a walk on this stretch of beach and it cemented in his mind that it should remain public. For the next two decades he led the fight to save this strip of beach from Sheridan Street to the Hollywood-Dania Beach line from Hollywood Inc., a development company that claimed they owned it, not the city. On September 4, 1981, the Fourth District Court of Appeal sided with the city and decided that the 1.5 mile of beach belonged to the city. Anyone who uses the beach here today has David Keating to thank. Today Keating Beach Park is under construction. It looks like there is structural damage to the pavilion and it is fenced off. There is no parking in this area either. The restrooms are closed and the slide is gone. Still the beach remains a glorious wide strip on sundrenched sand. This area is frequented more by locals than tourists. Here is to hopping that Hollywood gets the repairs done and opens this area back up soon.

The sand is so soft and clean, with not a single bit of seaweed. This was so surprising, as just a few miles away there was a substantial amount of seaweed. There were palm trees that offered a perfect amount of shade if you prefer to lie and read your book or take a nap on the beach. Be sure to layer on the sunscreen, I used an SPF 60, and still walked away a bit flushed. The water was very comfortable and clean. I took a swim a few times, and this is in April. Why can't every beach be like Keating Beach? But wait... there was a lady who came and was yelling profanities, I thought she was on her phone, but she was actually just venting loudly to herself. She had all eyes on her, there was no stopping her. I suppose that's one way to exercise your freedom of speech! Keating Beach is as perfect as they come. Hopefully you won't encounter the minor interruption like I did.

The water & shoreline has continued to uphold its beauty. I love coming here when I'm feeling the itch to get out by the water. The biggest change (for the worse) is there's now a parking fee. I preferred back when it was free but since I haven't been in a while I'm not sure how long it's been like this. The fee isn't terrible, which is somewhat a positive at least. The parking lot itself is massive so I've never had an issue finding a spot even on busy days. I noticed there's a lot more trash cans along the beach, which was great to see. There's some picnic tables, a fishing pier, multiple showers to rinse off at & plenty of space to lounge. There's a smaller public restroom which is definitely a smart new addition (since I'd last been). The scattered trees provide some shade but don't expect to find much else unless you're by the pier/restaurant. As far as this coast goes, I really enjoy coming to Dania compared to others. Most of the time I can take a short walk in either direction & find myself relatively alone which is my favorite thing to do outdoors. P.S. Utilize those trash cans! Pick up after YOURSELF & OTHERS. Whatever you bring with you, take it back. Just because you didn't bring the trash doesn't mean you can't pick it up. Let's work together to keep our beaches clean.
