    I often contemplate frolicking in the beaches of Miami amongst the perfectly tanned buffed fit bodies of the locals, but then I slap myself into reality. I like Florida people, my Nevada winter body will for sure make enemies not friends (Kidding, kidding, not). So I find myself at Keating Beach, a more family oriented beach where I can just chill and enjoy myself to the fullest extent. Parking at Keating Beach is 10 dollars at the picnic area.I believe you can stay there until six. Best time to get here is about 11 am, It wasn't too crowded for us. They have a lot of picnic tables with BBQ grills and mostly all in beautiful shaded areas. If you're in the mood to grill, this is the place but if you rather enjoy a nice meal, there are a lot of restaurants to choose from along the walk path, just keep walking along the beach. The locals are friendly and they are always eager to give you some suggestions for good grub. Margaritaville is the place for what, of course margaritas and you get a blender looking refillable souvenir. Well worth the money I hear. I saw a lot of people enjoying the free concert and dancing with these in their hands. This spot is definitely good for a nice relaxing time. I sure enjoy my time here whenever I come.

    Just another South Florida beach. It's all connected. Nothing special. No real boardwalk it's more of a road to walk they do have a little cookout out out area with grills and park benches l

    A hidden gem of a beach. Keating beach is located between the more well known Dania Beach and Hollywood beach. It is part of North Beach Park therefore it has paid parking, restrooms and a snack bar nearby. The parking lot fills up fast so make sure you go early. Otherwise you might be trekking it from other areas that you can park like the side streets from Pershing to Custer. The snack bar has a short menu of basic items. I'd suggest packing a cooler if you plan to stay any length of time. I like that it is a distance away from the busy Broadway with restaurants and small shops that attract large crowds. This area is quiet and more serene. It's a great place to chill out for the afternoon. The water is shallow so many people wade out and enjoy the water without waves crashing on them. It's nice to walk along the shore and see the shells too. I like this beach so much that I hope you forget this review after you read it.

    Pros: - 20ft from the shore, the water is around 3-4ft deep - Super clean sand - The beach wasn't crowded, which was nice and quiet - Clean bathroom with multiple stalls - Near the bathroom is a small shack that sells food and ice cream - Parking is $8/day - plenty of parking - Some areas of the state beach is preserved - bring cameras to take some nice scenery pictures

    Love this beach, super peaceful until a poor baby was stung by a jelly. Lifeguards responded quickly. Beware of the warning flags for dangerous wildlife!

The water & shoreline has continued to uphold its beauty. I love coming here when I'm feeling the itch to get out by the water. The biggest change (for the worse) is there's now a parking fee. I preferred back when it was free but since I haven't been in a while I'm not sure how long it's been like this. The fee isn't terrible, which is somewhat a positive at least. The parking lot itself is massive so I've never had an issue finding a spot even on busy days. I noticed there's a lot more trash cans along the beach, which was great to see. There's some picnic tables, a fishing pier, multiple showers to rinse off at & plenty of space to lounge. There's a smaller public restroom which is definitely a smart new addition (since I'd last been). The scattered trees provide some shade but don't expect to find much else unless you're by the pier/restaurant. As far as this coast goes, I really enjoy coming to Dania compared to others. Most of the time I can take a short walk in either direction & find myself relatively alone which is my favorite thing to do outdoors. P.S. Utilize those trash cans! Pick up after YOURSELF & OTHERS. Whatever you bring with you, take it back. Just because you didn't bring the trash doesn't mean you can't pick it up. Let's work together to keep our beaches clean.

While visiting the beach you could check out the wooden pier for $2.00. The Johnson State Park is just north of the main parking lot which is now a flat $5.00 per hour. Fun fact: In the 1970's Dania Beach had a secluded nude beach called Whiskey Creek Hideout only accessible by boat.

We were fortunate to find metered street parking just steps away from the beach, making access very convenient. This boardwalk is long and you can find yourself on any part of the beach. The boardwalk had a lively atmosphere with people rollerblading, riding electric bikes, and even pedaling those fun four wheel family bikes. It created a really enjoyable and energetic vibe. When we made our way onto the beach, it wasn't crowded at all, so finding a comfortable spot to sit was easy. We even took a swim in the ocean. The water felt cool when we first stepped in, but after a few minutes our bodies adjusted, and it became a very refreshing and enjoyable swim. There was a lifeguard on duty until around 6:30 PM, which added an extra sense of comfort and safety. Across the street, there was a restaurant and bar where visitors could grab drinks, food, or snacks and bring them back to enjoy by the beach. Overall, we had a wonderful time at Hollywood Beach. The relaxed atmosphere, beautiful shoreline, and lively boardwalk made for a memorable visit, and I would definitely return.

My fiancee volunteered to drive and tag along and when we arrived in the late afternoon, the beach was empty of people but packed with washed up seaweed on the shore.

It was around 10am on Saturday when we stopped by because we were in the area, and we had no idea there would be a cost. From what I could see, it is a nice pier, and you would definitely get some good pictures out there, and of the city. There's a quarterdeck right in front which opens at 11am, it's smaller than most, so I can imagine how packed it must become, especially for its location! I was really bummed about not being able to go onto the pier.
