10 Best Things To Do In Hollywood, Florida
"Just shy of the beachfront, visiting West Lake Park is ones of the best things to do in Hollywood, Florida if you love to Kayak. You see, here they have a heap of waterways to test your skills and master the art of bobbing and not crashing into fellow kayakers. Trust me, that’s the biggest challenge… I always end up smacking into Yaya, which usually results in a few splashes from his paddle!"
