Swimming & Sunbathing

Rental equipment available along the beach. Paddleboarding on a calm Atlantic morning with the Broadwalk hotels behind you is one of the best experiences in South Florida.
Jet Skiing & Boat Tours
Several operators run jet ski rentals and boat tours departing from Hollywood Beach Marina. Half-day fishing charters are also popular for groups.
Parasailing
For a different view of the coastline, parasailing operators run regular sessions from the beach. On a clear day you can see all the way up to Fort Lauderdale.

Fishing Charters
Deep-sea and inshore fishing charters depart from Hollywood Beach Marina. A full-morning charter is a memorable group activity for World Cup visitors.
