Sun Shelters
During the day, sun shelters, easy-up tents and large umbrellas are allowed. No overnight shelters are permitted, and there are beach patrols that check if sun shelters are being used for overnight camping, which is not permitted. Sun shelters are lightweight, three-sided tents designed to give you shady protection from the sun's rays.
Special Events
According to the Hollywood Beach website, you may use tents and larger easy-up shelters if you are part of an organized or permitted event. Permit applications are available at the Hollywood municipal offices or through the city website. Applications are submitted through the City Clerk's office.
