Confirmed from Hollywood North Beach Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
This 56-acre beachfront park has waterway fishing piers, a tower, a cafe & sea turtle exhibits.
What runners say about Hollywood North Beach Park
“I recently visited this beach and was pleasantly surprised by how peaceful and clean it was!”
“What a beautiful beach with white sand, blue waters, not many people, and life guard for safety.”
“It has lots of trees 🌳 providing nice shade from the sun with tables and BBQ grills for a fun day at the beach.”
“I recently visited this beach and was pleasantly surprised by how peaceful and clean it was!”
I believe the Northern section of Hollywood Beach is the nicest. I love Keating Beach and all the pathways walking around this section. The people that are enjoying this area seem to be much quieter. I just found that different areas of Hollywood Beach and the parks that connect to it- are different from the other.
Good area to spend a day with friends and family. It has lots of trees 🌳 providing nice shade from the sun with tables and BBQ grills for a fun day at the beach. If you want a table and BBQ grill, my suggestion is, especially on weekends, to arrive early so you can secure your own.
Parking is $10 for the day. The beach is clean, peaceful, and not overly crowded — perfect for a relaxing visit. One of the best features of Hollywood Beach is the nearby boardwalk, offering plenty of dining options and gift shops just steps away from the sand.
The beach itself was lovely, clean and parking was easy. I went there to explore their snorkel trail as a simple shore dive. The facilities were great, parking easy and even a place to wash gear. The artificial reef was just ok.
