The bigger the mall becomes the colder it gets. I remember when it was smaller, but with such variety to offer! Bookstore, toy store, Dappy, Hallmark, Sharper image...And Christmas? It was a Christmas wonderland...the train for the kids, the huge tree. Little by little the took everything away, to the point that last year there wasn't a single Christmas tree in the Mall. The only Christmas touch was Santa, but the rest of the mall? Nothing.
Now they don't even have a food court. With the closing of Sbarros, people have no choilce but to go to a sit down restaurant. I have no ideas what kind of clientele you are trying to attract with these changes, but it seems you are trying to drive the average costumer and families away/ I miss the mall the way it was just a few years ago.

When you come down from the frozen north east to this beach, you just melt at the site of the blue water and white sand! Sure there's better beaches, so they say..... this beach is wide with plenty of room, the drop off edge is where I like to be. Love to hear the waves crashing. I'll be back for sure!!!!!

We spent a lovely day, sunning, reading, walking and relaxing on this delightful stretch of the ocean. It was never busy and was a very pleasant experience. The public facilities are good and well maintained. It advertises itself as ‘the Real Florida’. I’ll buy that!

This 2.5-mile pedestrian promenade is crowded with joggers, skaters and cyclists with seaside cafes perfect for sitting, resting and people-watching. Or, if you’re feeling the need for speed, rent some wheels from one of the rental spots and join the crowd.

This boardwalk features restaurants shops, hotels, motels... It's a sensory overload experience, watching bikes go by, rollerbladers, rental large bicycles, walkers, Entertainment and more. All this while looking at the beautiful Hollywood Beach. The boardwalk is very well-maintained and it's quite beautiful, both during the day and at night when the lanterns are on. So many diverse restaurants, many with entertainment. It's a fun place to stroll and people watch

Reviewed By gloriaas19492468 - Carlsbad, California
Lovely, easy 2-3 mile walking area which circles the Turnberry golf course. You will see ponds, ducks, geese, egret and some birds. The trees, palms, bushes are lovely and you are really just across from the Aventura Mall. Parking is difficult as all around is the high rise community, mostly gated unless you park off 199th St near the bank or mall and walk over. Yet, there is a great service. The silver or green free bus can be picked up at the mall and will drop you off at the yacht club stop. Just walk across the street and there you are!
Takes no more than 1 .5 hours to walk it or be more leisurely. Lots of people on skates, bikes as well.
