Hollywood sits on the Atlantic coast in Broward County, between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, with a beach Broadwalk that runs beside the sand past shops, cafes, and public art. The Broadwalk is the city's front porch, a wide path where walkers, cyclists, and families share the ocean breeze. Downtown centers on Young Circle, a roundabout park that hosts concerts and gatherings, and ArtsPark brings outdoor performances and play space to the same district. The city was founded in the 1920s by developer Joseph Young, who dreamed of a planned seaside community, and the beach remains its defining feature.
