Planning a group outing to the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk sounds simple — until you try to coordinate parking for 25 people along a 2.5-mile stretch of A1A on a Saturday afternoon in July. The garages fill by mid-morning on peak weekends, the metered spots along Surf Road and Ocean Drive turn over slowly, and the rideshare pickup zone on Tyler Street between A1A and Surf Road backs up fast after sundown. Splitting your crew into a caravan of cars means someone always gets lost, someone always pays premium metered parking, and someone always ends up walking six blocks more than everyone else.

A bus rental to the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk solves the whole problem in one move. Your group boards together, rides together, and steps off steps from the Broadwalk — no splitting up, no circling the block, no one missing the first round at Taco Beach Shack because they're still hunting for a spot in the Nebraska Garage. This guide covers the logistics that actually matter: where buses drop off along the Broadwalk, which parking lots hold oversized vehicles, how to time your trip around Hollywood's biggest events, and exactly which vehicle fits your group.

It's the kind of detail we build into every booking for groups heading east from Pembroke Pines, Miramar, and the western communities of Broward County to the beach.

Why the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk Draws Groups

The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is a 2.5-mile brick-paved promenade along the Atlantic coastline — one of the widest and most walkable beach promenades in South Florida, running from Hollywood Boulevard south to Sheridan Street. Travel + Leisure has named it one of America's Best Beach Boardwalks, and it earns that ranking with a combination that few South Florida destinations can match: oceanfront restaurants and bars within steps of the waves, free live music at the Hollywood Beach Theatre at Johnson Street, the children's water playground at Charnow Park, bike and surrey rentals, volleyball courts, and a row of casual dining spots that runs the full length. Add the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort anchoring the Johnson Street corridor and a calendar of events that draws tens of thousands of visitors from across Broward County, and you have a destination that makes sense for birthday groups, bachelorette weekends, family reunions, company outings, and school end-of-year celebrations alike.

The catch is parking. The Broadwalk itself is car-free, and the streets and garages that feed into it are not built for the volume that a busy Saturday afternoon generates. For a group of 20 or more arriving by car, the math breaks down quickly.

The Parking Problem — What Actually Happens

Here is what the typical weekend scenario looks like for a group that drives separately to the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk.

The two public garages closest to the central Broadwalk are the Garfield Garage (300 Connecticut St) and the Nebraska Garage (327 Nebraska St). Both are open 24/7 and run $3 per hour Monday through Thursday and $4 per hour Friday through Sunday. On a summer Friday afternoon or any event weekend, both garages approach capacity by early afternoon.

The Holland Park Lot at 700 Johnson St is a solid midpoint option but gates lock at 7:30 p.m. November through February and 8:30 p.m. March through October — making it a bad choice for any evening that runs past dinner.

The Keating Lot at 2400 South Ocean Drive and the Beach Community Center lots at 1300 S Surf Road and 1200 S Ocean Drive are farther south from the main activity cluster at Johnson Street, adding a longer walk for groups. And the county's North Beach lots at 3600, 4300, 4400, 4900, and 5200 North Ocean Drive run $2–$3 per hour but sit at the northern end of the Broadwalk, putting your group at least a mile from the Beach Theatre and the main restaurant strip.

Metered street parking along A1A and the cross streets fills fast and enforces payment from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. For a group that splits into, say, six cars arriving at different times, you are looking at six separate parking payments, six separate walks to a regrouping point, and a reasonable chance that two or three cars end up in lots 10 or 15 minutes apart from each other on foot. On Spring Break weekends or during the St. Patrick's Day Parade, it gets worse — the city activates additional traffic management on A1A, and simply reaching the garages can involve significant delay.

A charter bus to Hollywood Beach removes every layer of that friction. One vehicle picks up your full group from a single point — a home, a hotel, a parking lot in Pembroke Pines or Miramar — and drops everyone at the Broadwalk together. No coordination, no parking cost, no metered-clock anxiety.

The bus takes care of the logistics; your group takes care of the fun.

The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk runs 2.5 miles along A1A — from Hollywood Boulevard south to Sheridan Street, with the central activity cluster at Johnson Street and the Margaritaville resort.

Where Your Bus Drops Off at the Broadwalk

This is the detail most group organizers don't have before they call. The Broadwalk itself is pedestrian-only, so a bus doesn't pull directly onto the promenade — it drops your group on a nearby street and waits while you're on the beach. Here is how that works in practice.

The central drop-off zone for rideshare and commercial vehicles is Tyler Street between A1A (North Ocean Drive) and Surf Road. That places your group within about a block of the main Broadwalk entry at Johnson Street — close enough to the Beach Theatre, the Margaritaville strip, Taco Beach Shack at 334 Arizona Street, and the central cluster of restaurants and bars that the 2.5-mile stretch is known for. For a large group, this is the most logical drop point: central, walkable to both ends of the Broadwalk, and far enough from the main A1A traffic to load and unload without blocking the street.

For groups heading to the southern section — the Beach Community Center area, the Summit Lot, or the quieter residential-adjacent stretch past Connecticut Street — a drop along South Surf Road or near the Keating Lot on South Ocean Drive puts you right there. For groups headed to Hollywood North Beach Park at the Sheridan Street end, the county lots on North Ocean Drive at Sheridan and A1A are a good spot to be dropped off. Tell us which part of the Broadwalk your group is focused on when you book, and we'll route the drop to the right end.

Where the bus waits during your visit depends on your booking structure. A bus reserved for a block of hours can wait at a lot like the Keating Lot, the Yacht Basin Marina Lot at 700 Polk Street, or the Summit Lot at 1200 S Surf Road. For longer visits where keeping the bus on-site makes less economic sense, a round-trip arrangement — drop at the central Tyler Street zone, return pickup at an agreed time and spot — keeps the cost predictable.

We work this out when you book so there are no surprises at the end of the afternoon.

The one-line version: your bus drops your group at Tyler Street between A1A and Surf Road for central Broadwalk access — one block from the Beach Theatre and the Johnson Street restaurant strip. That single coordinate, confirmed when you book, is what keeps a 30-person group together and walking in the same direction from the moment they step off.

Which Vehicle Fits Your Hollywood Beach Group?

Not every Broadwalk outing calls for the same bus. Here is how the fleet breaks down for a Hollywood Beach run, matched to group size and the nature of the trip.

Vehicle Typical seats Best for Key amenities
14-passenger Sprinter limo or Sprinter van Up to ~14 Small bachelorette or birthday group, VIP beach outing Premium leather, USB charging, tinted privacy windows
Party bus (15–50 passengers) ~15–50 Birthday groups, bachelor/bachelorette, pub crawls ending at the beach Built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, open dance area
15–35 passenger minibus ~15–35 Family reunions, corporate outings, school groups, mid-size celebrations Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, overhead storage
40–56 passenger charter bus Up to 56 Large reunions, employer outings, field trips, multi-stop Broadwalk days Reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restroom, undercarriage bays

For groups that want the party to start before anyone hits the sand, a 15- to 50-passenger party bus is the right pick — the built-in bar and sound system turn the ride from Pembroke Pines east on Hallandale Beach Boulevard into an extension of the outing itself. For larger families or company groups where comfort on the road is the priority, a full-size charter bus offers plush reclining seats and enough undercarriage storage to bring a cooler, beach chairs, and bags for a 56-person group without anyone holding gear in their lap. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — just let us know your needs when you book.

What a Hollywood Beach Bus Rental Costs

Party Bus Pembroke Pines offers all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you'll know the exact price before you ever book. The quote depends on a handful of clear variables: your group size, the vehicle it calls for, the number of hours the bus is reserved, and the date. Here are current rate ranges to anchor your estimate.

The per-person math is what usually settles the decision. A 30-person group in a minibus at $300/hour for four hours — covering pickup in Pembroke Pines, the drive to the Broadwalk, a wait while the bus is parked, and the return — works out to roughly $40 per person all-inclusive. Compare that to six cars each paying $4/hour for four hours of garage parking plus gas for a round-trip on I-95 or Hallandale Beach Boulevard, and the bus often comes out even or ahead.

And that math doesn't count the coordination savings. Call 754-355-0710 for a quote built around your exact group size, date, and pickup point.

Getting There: Routes, Traffic, and Timing from Broward County

The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is genuinely close to most of western Broward County — which is one of the reasons it draws such heavy weekend traffic. Here are approximate drive times from common Pembroke Pines and Broward pickup points, outside of peak periods.

From… Approx. distance Typical drive time (off-peak)
Pembroke Pines (central) ~10–11 miles 20–30 minutes
Miramar ~9–12 miles 20–30 minutes
Davie / Cooper City ~14–16 miles 25–35 minutes
Dania Beach / Hallandale Beach ~4–7 miles 10–20 minutes
Fort Lauderdale (downtown) ~12 miles 20–30 minutes
Miami (Brickell/downtown) ~25 miles 35–50 minutes

The two main approaches from Pembroke Pines are east on Hallandale Beach Boulevard to A1A (for the central and southern Broadwalk), or east on Hollywood Boulevard to the northern end. Both corridors back up on Friday afternoons and weekend mornings once beach-going traffic hits the A1A corridor. The A1A itself becomes a slow crawl between Dania Beach and the Hollywood Boulevard intersection on busy weekends — which means the last mile is often the longest one.

A bus carrying 40 people makes one trip through that congestion; a caravan of eight cars makes eight.

We recommend factoring in an extra 15–20 minutes on summer weekends, Spring Break dates in March, and any day tied to a Broadwalk event. For July 4th specifically, the city activates special traffic management along A1A well before the evening fireworks — plan to arrive at the beach area by mid-afternoon if the fireworks are the goal, not by 8 p.m.

The Hollywood Broadwalk Event Calendar: When Demand Peaks

Several annual events at the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk create genuine transportation friction — parking fills hours before the event, A1A is managed or partially restricted, and rideshare surge pricing spikes after the main activity ends. These are the dates where renting a bus isn't just convenient; it's the difference between arriving on time and spending 40 minutes circling the neighborhood.

St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival (March)

Hollywood's St. Patrick's Day Parade is the largest in South Florida, routing floats, marching bands, and bagpipe corps down Harrison Street through downtown and toward the beach. The City of Hollywood's official parade page confirms the parade typically steps off at 1 p.m. In 2026, it ran March 15.

The entire A1A corridor near the Broadwalk sees restricted vehicle access during and after the parade route, and parking in both the Garfield and Nebraska garages fills well before noon on parade day. This is one of the two or three dates per year where we tell groups plainly: if you don't have your bus reserved by February, expect higher pricing or limited availability. Book by January for the St. Patrick's Day weekend.

A bus carrying your crew from Pembroke Pines skips the parade-route vehicle restrictions entirely — you're dropped at the Tyler Street zone, not fighting the A1A backup two miles west.

4th of July Fireworks Celebration (July 4th)

The annual Fourth of July celebration at Hollywood Beach draws massive crowds to the Broadwalk, with live entertainment beginning at 5 p.m. on the stage outside the Margaritaville resort and offshore fireworks launching at 9 p.m. The bandshell at Johnson Street runs a concurrent program. Because the fireworks display is one of the largest in Broward County, beach attendance stretches into the tens of thousands — and every parking garage fills by mid-afternoon.

Rideshare surge pricing after 9 p.m., once the fireworks end and the entire crowd attempts to leave simultaneously, is significant. A bus reserved for a block of hours that covers the afternoon arrival, the fireworks, and the post-event departure is the cleanest solution: the return pickup is arranged in advance, the bus waits nearby, and your group walks from the Broadwalk to the bus without fighting the rideshare queue on Tyler Street. Book 4th of July transportation in May — vehicle availability in Broward County for this date goes fast.

Spring Break (March)

The City of Hollywood's Spring Break welcome page underscores how seriously the city takes this period. Hollywood Beach draws college-age visitors from across the region throughout March, and the Broadwalk runs at high capacity through the month. The Sun Shuttle extends its hours to midnight on select Spring Break weekends — which tells you how late the crowds run.

Parking garages enforce their rates strictly, and the meter enforcement on street spots is active. A charter bus from Pembroke Pines or Miramar for a Spring Break group outing is straightforward to coordinate: pick up the group at a central location, head east on Hallandale Beach Boulevard or Sheridan Street to A1A, drop at the Tyler Street zone, and set the return window before anyone scatters for the night.

Live Music at the Hollywood Beach Theatre (Year-Round)

The Hollywood Beach Theatre at Johnson Street on the Broadwalk hosts free live musical performances on a regular schedule through the warmer months, running roughly 7:30–9:00 p.m. (weather permitting). Blues, jazz, and tropical sounds are the recurring formats.

These evenings draw locals and visitors alike and fill the Johnson Street area of the Broadwalk well before showtime. For groups building an evening around a Beach Theatre performance — dinner at one of the Broadwalk restaurants, a show at the bandshell, and a walk back — a party bus or minibus rental is ideal: pick up the group at 5 or 6 p.m., head to the Broadwalk for dinner, catch the show, and ride home together at 10 p.m. No one has to leave early to beat traffic.

Check the City of Hollywood events calendar for current performance dates before you book.

Holiday Weekends and Summer Saturdays

Memorial Day weekend, Labor Day weekend, and any Saturday in June, July, and August all qualify as peak demand periods at the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk. The parking garages — Garfield, Nebraska, Holland Park — fill by mid-morning, and the county's North Beach lots along North Ocean Drive fill later but are the furthest walk from the central activity. If your group is heading to the Broadwalk on any of these dates, build in at least three weeks of lead time for booking.

The right-size vehicles go first, and last-minute bookings for weekend summer dates in Broward County carry premium pricing.

Planning the Broadwalk Trip for Different Group Types

The Broadwalk serves genuinely different purposes depending on who's in the group. Here is how we think about the trip for each.

Bachelorette and Bachelor Groups

The Johnson Street stretch of the Broadwalk — anchored by the Margaritaville resort and surrounded by open-air bars, beach shacks, and the bandshell — is a natural bachelorette destination. Your group can move between Taco Beach Shack at 334 Arizona Street (live music, 50 tequilas, outdoor lounge), the bars along the Broadwalk, and the Margaritaville resort bar all within a short walk. A party bus with a built-in bar, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound makes the ride from Pembroke Pines part of the night rather than dead time.

The return trip — when it's late, everyone's been in the Florida sun for six hours, and no one wants to find their Uber in the Tyler Street queue — is where a pre-arranged bus pickup is worth every cent. Tell us your planned dinner time and your target end-of-night pickup, and we build the timeline around it.

Family Reunions and Large Group Outings

A 40- or 50-person family reunion on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is a logistics exercise without a bus. The Charnow Park children's water playground at the Connecticut Street end of the Broadwalk, the beach volleyball courts, the surf rentals, and the casual dining spots along the full 2.5-mile stretch give large groups plenty of spread-out activities. A full-size charter bus keeps the whole group on one schedule: one pickup point from a central location in Pembroke Pines or Miramar, one drop at the Broadwalk, and one coordinated return.

The undercarriage bays handle coolers, beach bags, and stroller storage for a 56-person group without anyone holding gear on their lap for 20 minutes. Plan the reunion for a Tuesday through Thursday if your dates are flexible — you'll pay the lower weekday garage rate if anyone needs supplemental parking, and the Broadwalk is far less crowded than a summer Saturday.

Corporate and Employee Outings

A company beach day on the Broadwalk is a straightforward bus trip. Pick up employees at the office or a central parking lot in Pembroke Pines or Davie, head east to the Broadwalk, spend four to six hours at the beach, and return. A minibus or charter bus with WiFi and power outlets means people aren't disconnected on the ride over if they need to be reachable.

The Broadwalk's mix of casual dining and open beach space accommodates groups that want structure (organized beach volleyball, a group lunch at an oceanfront restaurant) and groups that just want a free afternoon by the water. We handle the routing and the timing; your HR team handles the headcount.

School Field Trips and Youth Groups

Hollywood North Beach Park at 3600 North Ocean Drive, at the Sheridan Street end of the Broadwalk, is the most accessible school-trip drop point — the county lots there run $2–$3 per hour and the park has facilities, open beach space, and a natural buffer from the denser commercial activity in the Johnson Street area. A charter bus drops your group at the north end of the Broadwalk, waits at the county lot, and returns on your schedule. Onboard TV monitors and overhead storage make the ride from Pembroke Pines useful for a group of students — luggage bays handle equipment and bag storage so the group arrives organized.

For youth groups where ADA accessibility matters, let us know when you book and we'll arrange the right vehicle.

Bus vs. Driving vs. Rideshare for a Hollywood Beach Group

We'll give you the honest comparison, because the bus isn't the answer for every group.

Option Group stays together? Parking cost Event/surge risk Best for
Private bus rental Yes — one vehicle None — bus waits elsewhere None — pre-arranged fixed rate Groups of 15–56
Multiple cars + garage parking No — arrive separately $3–$4/hr per car Garages fill on peak dates Groups of 4–8 in 1–2 cars
Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) No — multiple pickups None for passenger High surge pricing after events Solo or 1–4 people
Holly-Go shuttle (free, BCT) If on same route None Limited hours, route-dependent Individuals, not coordinated groups

For one or two people, the free Holly-Go shuttle (BCT Orange Line, Route 766) runs between City Hall and Margaritaville — no reason to charter a bus for that. But once your group reaches a dozen people or more, the coordination cost of separate vehicles, separate parking, and separate returns outweighs everything else. One bus keeps the group intact from the Pembroke Pines pickup to the Broadwalk drop and back — for a flat, predictable rate that doesn't surge when the fireworks end and 10,000 people try to leave simultaneously.

Tips for Your Broadwalk Visit

A few practical things every group organizer should know before the bus pulls away.

  • The Broadwalk is car-free — and that's the point. The 30-foot-wide promenade runs between the oceanfront and the beachside buildings with no vehicle access. Your bus drops at the nearest street and your group walks onto the promenade. Plan for a short walk of a block or two from the Tyler Street drop zone to the Broadwalk entry.
  • Parking garage hours matter for evening groups. The Holland Park Lot at 700 Johnson St gates lock at 7:30 p.m. in winter and 8:30 p.m. in summer. If any members of your group arrived separately and used that lot, they need to be out before the gate closes. The Garfield and Nebraska garages are open 24/7 and are the better choice for evening visits — but they fill first on weekends.
  • As of May 1, 2026, the Radius and Van Buren garages transitioned to a gateless system. Payment at those facilities is now handled at on-site pay stations or via the ParkMobile app — no ticket to pull or gate to exit. If any of your group is using supplemental parking, confirm they know the payment process. Visit the City of Hollywood Parking page for current instructions.
  • Tyler Street is the rideshare and drop-off zone. Uber and Lyft pickups officially use Tyler Street between A1A and Surf Road for pickups and drop-offs at the Broadwalk. Your bus uses the same general corridor for the drop — set the group's return meeting point at a specific landmark (e.g., "the north end of the Tyler Street crosswalk") when you board, not just "the bus stop," so no one is searching at 10 p.m.
  • The Beach Theatre is free. Live performances at the Hollywood Beach Theatre at Johnson Street and the Broadwalk run most evenings at 7:30–9:00 p.m. during the season, with no ticket required. Build your group's timeline around the performance schedule if a live show is part of the plan — check the City of Hollywood events calendar before you book.
  • The Holly-Go shuttle connects to the Broadwalk, but not for groups. The BCT Orange Line (Route 766) runs between City Hall and Margaritaville, Monday through Friday 8 a.m.–5 p.m. and weekends 9 a.m.–5 p.m. It's a useful individual option — but it doesn't run on a schedule that works for a coordinated group, and it doesn't run evenings. A private bus is the group solution; the Holly-Go is the solo-commuter solution.

Broadwalk Attractions Worth Building Into Your Itinerary

The 2.5-mile promenade has distinct character at different points. Here is what your group finds at each stretch, and how it maps to a coordinated bus itinerary.

Johnson Street Hub (Central Broadwalk)

The Johnson Street and A1A intersection is the commercial center of the Broadwalk — home to the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, the Hollywood Beach Theatre bandshell, Taco Beach Shack at 334 Arizona Street, and a cluster of open-air bars and restaurants running in both directions. This is where most events set up, where the 4th of July entertainment sets up, and where the Broadwalk is at its busiest on any peak weekend. For groups that want to maximize activity and convenience, a drop at the Tyler Street zone puts you a half-block from this entire strip.

The trade-off is that this section is the loudest and most congested on weekends — if your group includes younger children or prefers a quieter beach experience, the southern or northern Broadwalk section is a better fit.

Connecticut Street and Charnow Park (South-Central Broadwalk)

Charnow Park sits at the Connecticut Street end of the Broadwalk and includes a children's water playground, redeveloped public facilities, and a historic racquetball court. The Garfield Garage at 300 Connecticut Street is the closest city garage for supplemental parking needs. This section of the Broadwalk is a natural fit for family reunions that include younger kids — the water play area keeps children occupied without requiring a beach setup, and the restaurants just north of Connecticut Street on the Broadwalk offer casual dining at a slightly slower pace than the Johnson Street area.

Hollywood North Beach Park (Sheridan Street End)

Hollywood North Beach Park anchors the northern end of the Broadwalk at Sheridan Street and North Ocean Drive (A1A). The park includes the dog beach section, open ocean-side green space, and the county's North Beach parking lots at 3600 North Ocean Drive and north. The BCT Red Line (Route 770) runs between the Walmart on East Hallandale Boulevard and Hollywood North Beach Park on Friday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., which shows how the city thinks about the park's public transit access — it's a genuine destination, not just a northern terminus.

For school groups or large family reunions that want open beach space without the commercial density of the central Broadwalk, the north end is the better drop point. The county lot here runs $2 per hour Monday through Thursday and $3 per hour Friday through Sunday — the lowest parking rate on the full Broadwalk.

Booking, Timing, and What to Have Ready

Booking a bus to Hollywood Beach is straightforward. Have these details ready when you call and we'll build your quote fast.

  1. Your group size and vehicle preference. Even a rough headcount — "about 30 people" — is enough to identify the right vehicle and confirm availability.
  2. Pickup location. A single address in Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Davie, or wherever your group assembles. We route from there.
  3. Your target drop point on the Broadwalk. Central (Tyler Street zone near Johnson Street), south (Beach Community Center area), or north (Hollywood North Beach Park near Sheridan). If you're not sure, tell us your main activity and we'll recommend the right end.
  4. Your date and approximate hours. This determines pricing and lets us flag any event-day logistics (parking restrictions, traffic pattern changes, changes to where the bus waits).

On timing: for routine summer weekends, two to four weeks of lead time is workable. For St. Patrick's Day, the 4th of July, Spring Break weekends, and holiday Mondays, book as early as January or February for March dates and as early as April for summer dates. The right-size vehicles for a 40-person group on a peak-event weekend in Broward County go fast, and the pricing difference between booking early and booking two weeks out is meaningful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly does a charter bus or party bus drop off at the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk?

The primary commercial drop zone for the Broadwalk is Tyler Street between A1A (North Ocean Drive) and Surf Road — this is the designated rideshare and vehicle drop-off area for the beach, placing your group about one block from the main Broadwalk entry at Johnson Street. For groups focused on the southern Broadwalk, a drop near South Surf Road or the Keating Lot on South Ocean Drive works better. For the northern end near Hollywood North Beach Park, the approach via North Ocean Drive and the county lot access puts your group right at Sheridan Street and the park entrance.

We confirm the drop point for your specific destination when you book.

Is there bus parking at the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk?

The city's public garages (Garfield at 300 Connecticut St and Nebraska at 327 Nebraska St) are not sized for full-size charter buses. The Keating Lot at 2400 South Ocean Drive and the Yacht Basin Marina Lot at 700 Polk Street offer more open-air space for oversized vehicles to wait. The county's North Beach lots along North Ocean Drive at 3600 through 5200 North Ocean Drive also provide surface parking that accommodates larger vehicles.

We confirm the plan — whether the bus waits on-site or comes back for a scheduled pickup — based on your itinerary and the date's expected lot capacity. Review the City of Hollywood Parking Locations page for the full lot list and current rates before your visit.

How far is Pembroke Pines from the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk?

Central Pembroke Pines is approximately 10–11 miles from the Broadwalk, which translates to 20–30 minutes off-peak via Hallandale Beach Boulevard east to A1A, or via Sheridan Street east to the northern Broadwalk access. On a summer Saturday or during a Broadwalk event, add 15–20 minutes for A1A corridor congestion. The short distance is actually what makes the parking problem feel frustrating — you're close enough that driving seems easy, until you're the eighth car in line for a garage that filled an hour ago.

How much does a party bus or charter bus to the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk cost?

Pricing depends on vehicle size, hours, and date. A ballpark range: 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 35–50 passenger vehicles run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour. A four-hour outing for a 30-person group — pickup in Pembroke Pines, Broadwalk drop, a wait while the bus is parked, return — typically lands in the $1,200–$1,600 range all-inclusive, or roughly $40–$55 per person.

You'll know the exact number before you book. Call 754-355-0710 or use the online quote tool for instant pricing.

When should I book a bus for a Hollywood Beach trip?

For routine summer weekends and weekday outings, two to four weeks of lead time is usually sufficient. For St. Patrick's Day (parade runs in mid-March), book by January. For the 4th of July fireworks celebration, book in April or May.

For Spring Break weekends in March, book by February. For holiday weekends — Memorial Day, Labor Day — book four to six weeks out. The right-size vehicle at the right price disappears quickly for peak Broward County beach dates.

Can a bus accommodate a multi-stop Broadwalk day — lunch, beach, evening event?

Yes. A bus reserved as a block of hours can wait during your beach time, swing back for a pickup mid-day if the group is moving from the beach to a restaurant farther along the Broadwalk, and return for a final evening pickup at the Tyler Street drop zone. The key is setting a clear itinerary — approximate times, locations, and headcount at each segment — when you book so the pickup plan is confirmed rather than improvised on the day.

We put together multi-stop Broadwalk itineraries regularly for bachelorette groups, birthday parties, and corporate events that want structure across a full afternoon and evening.

Does the Holly-Go shuttle work for group transportation to the Broadwalk?

The Holly-Go is a free city shuttle system operated in partnership with Broward County Transit. The Orange Line (BCT Route 766) connects City Hall and Margaritaville on the Broadwalk, Monday through Friday 8 a.m.–5 p.m. and weekends 9 a.m.–5 p.m. It's a useful individual option, but it doesn't accommodate coordinated group pickups, doesn't run evenings, and isn't designed to move a group of 20 or 30 people on a single departure.

For group coordination, a private bus is the right tool. Visit the City of Hollywood Transit Options page for the full Holly-Go schedule.

Are ADA-accessible buses available for Hollywood Beach trips?

Yes — ADA-accessible vehicles are always available in our network. Let us know your specific needs when you book so we can match the right vehicle. The Broadwalk itself is fully accessible — the brick promenade accommodates wheelchairs and mobility devices, and Hollywood North Beach Park at the Sheridan Street end includes accessible beach areas.

Give us notice when you request your quote and we'll confirm the vehicle configuration before anything is finalized.
