So my friend has tried to get me to go to Hollywood beach before but the thing is....
Hollywood, FL is kind of the Ghetto. It turns out that the resort/tourist area of Hollywood is far from that. We loved it.

So the parking is in a garage. $5 all day

It puts we out under a covered walk and opens to this little fountain park. They then have a boardwalk and past that is the beach. They even have a permanent mat that goes out onto the beach so that you don't burn your feet.

Sydney loved this part and so did Lincoln. Lincoln was crazy about this place. To the left of the little park are terraces you can sit on and watch the kids our eat. We'd put Lincoln on the top one and he climb down all the way to get back to the fountain.
