For those who prefer a little less physical activity, you can enjoy performances at the beach theater, shop at our many beach boutiques, sip a cappuccino at an outdoor café or just sit on a beachfront bench and "people watch."
If you want to jump in the car and drive just a couple miles, you can rent Jet skis, waverunners, ocean kayaks, power boats, sailboats, windsurfers, other watercrafts. You can also visit Hollywood North Beach. This relatively untouched beach is a haven for shell seekers, families and ecologists alike. The gritty, shell-laced sand is lined by native vegetation,and on the north end by private homes.
