Hollywood 1. Dog Beach of Hollywood Located between Pershing and Custer Streets. This beach is now open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 5 to 9 p.m. EDT. There are fees. Check the web site given here for specifics. Visitors should enter the beach only at Pershing Street and sign in with the ranger on duty. Note from Web Mistress: Dog guardians in Hollywood have struggled for some time to make this beach a reality. While trying to organize a small place for people to exercise with their dogs, they received much resistance from beachfront homeowners who curiously think they also own the actual beach. Despite the group having to jump through all kinds of hoops to make this dog-friendly area a reality, permission for the dog beach will be contingent upon a review every six months. So please, if you're going to visit this beach, follow the rules and don't make it even harder on those who worked to get a good thing going and don't give the naysayers any ammunition. 2. Broward County Parks Well-behaved, leashed dogs are allowed to visit all Broward County Parks except the following Nature Centers: Anne Kolb, Secret Woods, Fern Forest, Tall Cypress, Hillsboro Pineland, and Deerfield Island. 3.
