Hollywood beach is one of the best in nation, says ranking by Tripadvisor

Hollywood beach now has bragging rights as one of the best in the nation, based on the latest ranking by Tripadvisor.

The laid-back beach, known for its bustling Broadwalk and bright blue-and-yellow lifeguard towers, came in at No. 4 in the top 10 ranking.

“We who live here already knew this,” Hollywood Mayor Josh Levy said in a Facebook post Thursday. “But it’s cool to see Hollywood Beach ranked as a best beach in the USA by TripAdvisor. No. 4 beach in the USA. Though No. 1 if you ask me.”

Fort Lauderdale snagged the No. 15 spot in Tripadvisor’s annual Travelers Choice Awards.

Miami Beach, that high-profile locale to the south, didn’t make the list.

Six other beaches in Florida also made the top 25 list for 2024: Siesta Beach on Siesta Key near Sarasota (2); Clearwater Beach (12); Panama City Beach (13); St. Augustine Beach (17); and Henderson Beach State Park in Destin (18); and Bahia Honda State Park in Big Pine Key in the Florida Keys (22).

Snaring the honor…
