Hollywood Beach
History
Hollywood was given its name by its developer, Joseph Young, in the 1920's, echoing in its connotations the glamour of the film capital at the other side of the North American Continent. Broad streets, stately rows of royal palm trees (planted under the direction of founder Joe Young) and grand traffic circles (one of which is named "Young Circle") give the city a certain sense of drama.
Beach
Endowed with an extensive ocean coastline, Hollywood offers two beaches. Sixty-five-acre North Beach Park, nestled in sand dunes and tall sea grass, is preserved as a sea turtle hatchery. There one finds nature trails, picnic tables, a 60-foot viewing tower, and--on the Intracoastal side--a popular fishing pier. The other beach, Hollywood Beach, is extremely popular because of its wide swath of sand and the 2.2 mile Boardwalk which parallels it, offering pedestrians and cyclists vended items from food to tee shirts. Hollywood Beach occupies roughly the center of the city's 6 miles of sandy coastline.

Real Estate
Currently, Hollywood Beach is enjoying a revitalization with old buildings being torn down to make way for new, highrise, oceanfront condominiums. And, as in all parts of the Gold Coast, the older, Intracoastal waterfront homes are also being rennovated or torn down to make way for the new building.
