With the Intracoastal Waterway to the west and the beach and ocean immediately east, this spiffed-up 2-mi paved promenade has lured pedestrians and cyclists since 1924. With a new $14 million makeover, this stretch has taken on added luster for the buff, the laid back, and the retired. Kids also thrive here: there are play areas, rental bikes, trikes, and other pedal-powered gizmos. Expect to hear French spoken here, since Hollywood Beach has long been a favorite getaway for Quebecois. Conversations in Spanish and Portuguese are also frequently overheard on this path.
