Hollywood Beach — The Best Kept Secret Near Fort Lauderdale

20 Minutes from Fort Lauderdale

Hollywood Beach is a straight 20-minute drive south of Fort Lauderdale via I-95 or A1A. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is 15 minutes away. You are not giving up convenience — you are gaining a better beach at a better price.

The Broadwalk

Hollywood Beach has a 2.5-mile brick oceanfront promenade — the Broadwalk — named one of America's Best Beach Boardwalks by Travel + Leisure. Restaurants, bars, bike rentals and live music, all walking distance from your door. Fort Lauderdale Beach has no equivalent.

Less Crowded, Same Ocean

The Atlantic water and sand at Hollywood Beach is identical to Fort Lauderdale Beach. The crowd is not. Hollywood Beach is quieter, more relaxed and significantly better value — especially for stays longer than a weekend.

No Platform Fees

Ultra Spaces accepts direct bookings. No Airbnb service charge, no VRBO booking fee, no hidden percentages at checkout. What you see is what you pay.
