Hollywood
Between the major tourist hotspots of Miami and Fort
Lauderdale sits the laid-back yet bustling city of Hollywood Beach, Florida.
Joseph Young came to Florida in 1920 with a vision to create a “dream city.”
The amazing year-round weather and glistening beaches helped
Young bring his dream to life. Today, Hollywood boasts a diverse population of
working-class families, single adults from different backgrounds, and exciting
local culture from Cuban, Peruvian, Romanian, and Colombian influence.
Walk along the Hollywood Beach Boardwalk for shopping, prime
