Why Hollywood, FL
Why Hollywood, FL Is Perfect for Sunset Cruise
A sunset cruise from Hollywood catches the sun dropping over the western Intracoastal shoreline while you drift past the natural beauty of John U. Lloyd Beach State Park. As the sky turns gold and pink, the contrast between the park's mangroves and the industrial silhouette of Port Everglades creates a uniquely dramatic scene. The port's massive cranes and ship lights begin to glow as twilight settles, adding an urban-industrial element to the sunset that you will not find on other South Florida cruises. The Hollywood stretch of the Intracoastal is calm and quiet in the evening, making for a peaceful and memorable sunset experience.
