Best Beach in Hollywood Beach

"Crandon Park Beach boasts some of the clearest waters Miami has to offer, thanks in part to a strict ban on floatation devices and its offshore sandbar — itself an idyllic place to bask like the Floridian lizard you are at heart. Not to worry though, there’s plenty else to keep the whole family entertained, including unique eco-adventure experiences, picnic and cookout areas, and concession stands. If the sun becomes too much, head to the Family Amusement Center open on weekends and holidays only to check out its restored carousel, beachfront playground, and splash fountain."

"An abandoned zoo on a subtropical island, ever since Dade County's main zoological park decamped to way down south, the Crandon Park Gardens, or just Crandon Gardens (both derivations are used) has sat and grown into a hidden, mysterious botanical garden with otherworldly follies (the former animal enclosures) scattered here and there."

"Parents love Candon Park for its gorgeous 2-mile beach, lifeguards, and picnic areas. But kids keep coming back for the vintage carousel, paved roller rink, and a seahorse fountain. Throw in the pretty arboretum and gardens and you've got one of the best spots in Miami for kids of all ages."

"The great thing about Hollywood North Beach Park is that it’s right next to the West Lake South Trail and the beach!. This means, after completing the West Lake South Trail you can head straight over to chill in the park and get ready for a dip, too. With over 50+ acres to explore, it’s easily one of the best things to do in Hollywood, Florida to just chill out."

"For those of you who want a little more variety (or for those that don't like shopping), you can stop at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, where there is something for everyone. Guests have the option to enjoy the casino, horse racing, live entertainment and more."

"Hollywood Beach, an area 100-yards long, is located between Pershing & Custer Streets. The Dog Beach is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 3pm to 7pm. During Daylight Savings Time the hours are 4pm to 8pm."

"These are probably my favourite and the most fun on this list of instagrammable places in Miami. I just love the iconic colourful lifeguard towers in Miami, but especially the ones at South Pointe beach!. Expect to see all sorts of bright colours and fun shapes as you stroll along the beach."

"The chocolate brigadeiro cake at Sagrado Cafe is an indulgent combination of moist layers of chocolate cake and brigadeiros, Brazil's signature truffle. Thanks to sweetened condensed milk in the truffle mixture, the cake remains moist despite the absence of frosting. To add to the richness, mini brigadeiros top the whole thing ($8 to $69 depending upon the size)."

"With an enchanted garden atmosphere, this Brazilian café in downtown Miami is a great place for family bonding time. Kids' meals ($14) start with a sharable warm basket of gluten-free cheese bread and a choice of soda or juice. Then it's on to their own plate of chicken Milanese, served with a side of rice, fries, or mac 'n' cheese."

"The food and seating options are endless – making it the best spot to work on South Beach. Make sure you visit the one on 7th, since 17th is in the midst of a tourism central. If you’re craving something sweet, try one of their blended coffee shakes!"

"Brickell's first Pop Up Bar, Better Days, takes a fresh look at craft cocktails & beers within an American kitsch paradise and packages it alongside our eclectic throwback sensibilities and back-to-basics bar model... Address:75 SE 6th St Ste 103, Miami, FL 33131"

"Sure, once upon a time Better Days called itself a "pop-up" bar, but this laid-back watering hole has become a permanent go-to spot for the Brickell crowd serving up unique, handcrafted cocktails in a very un-Brickell like setting."

"Restaurants Gastropubs Brickell. The Brickell gastropub with reopens just in time for football season. With seemingly more TVs than chairs, Batch is a favorite of sports fans looking for a good view of the game and a solid meal to enjoy while they watch."

"Das Batch ist Brickells Gastropub aus der Nachbarschaft und bietet Speisen mit Zutaten aus der Region sowie eine umfangreiche Getränkeauswahl.

"Spread across eight square blocks just off Washington Avenue, this breezy, open-air shopping street offers a high-low variety in a tropical sun-drenched setting. With over seventy-five shops ranging from national brands like H&M and Sephora to specialty boutiques, spend the day window-shopping with a friend or bring the entire family. After some serious retail therapy, sit down at your choice of sixty local restaurants including Havana 1957 for authentic Cuban cuisine or duck into SuViche for a tuna tartare and a glass of Peruvian macerados."

"Arguably Miami's most well-known shopping center, the Lincoln Road Mall in South Beach is full of stores, boutiques, art galleries, and museums. Nearly the entire area of this open-air mall is closed to automobile traffic, making it a great place to stroll and people watch. You'll find Urban Outfitters, Madewell, Steve Madden, Melissa Shoes, Scotch & Soda, Nike, Lacoste, Forever 21, Adidas by Stella McCartney, BCBG Max Azria, Anthropologie, Ted Baker, Zara, Victoria’s Secret, American Eagle, Zadig & Voltaire, Lululemon Athletica, and more."

"A post shared by Thomas ONeill (@tjoneillinc) on May 10, 2017 at 5:42pm PDT. Lincoln Road has quickly become a Miami shopping hot spot especially since the area has been closed off to pedestrian traffic only. The street runs east to west and is parallel to 16th and 17th street."
