South East Florida Communities » Hollywood.
Hollywood is located on Florida's Gold Coast, just south of Ft. Lauderdale and just north of Miami. The weather averages 77 degrees year round and that combined with miles of waterways makes it a great place to enjoy all types of water-sports. There are 46 parks, 7 golf courses and professional sports nearby including the Miami Dolphins, Florida Marlins, Miami Heat and the Florida Panthers. There's also Gulfstream Racetrack, Caulder Racetrack, Hollywood Greyhound Track and Dania Jai-Lai Hollywood is easily accessible from the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport and I-95 or the Florida Turnpike. Miami International Airport and the Port of Miami are less than twenty-five miles away.
The area has substantial educational opportunities, including Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University, the University of Miami and a number of smaller private universities, colleges, and a community college system.
Hollywood has seven miles of sand beaches and Florida's only Oceanfront Boardwalk (a 27-foot wide path where no cars come between you and the beach).
The boardwalk is dotted with restaurants, music and shops. Personally, I've found that spending an evening at the boardwalk is really a great way to relax and take in the Florida Lifestyle.
In addition to the beaches, there are art galleries, festivals, restaurants, hotels and nightlife in a downtown with a European atmosphere.

There are few places in Florida with such a distinctive identity like Hollywood has. In other words, although it is close to Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, Hollywood has its own ambience. So if you want easy access to the big city life but want to retreat to a quieter area, Hollywood could be the perfect spot.
