Hollywood has designated "Fun Zones" for certain activities such as beach games (e.g. frisbee), cycling, surfing, fishing and rollerblading, so make sure you are in the designated area before partaking. In a report issued by the National Resources Defense Counsel in June 2011, Minnesota Street beach was unfortunately the most polluted beach in Broward County due to sewage overflow, polluted water runoff and animal waste. In August 2010, Minnesota Beach also tested for dangerously high bacteria levels in the water. It has been speculated that run-off from heavy rains and a nearby sewage pipe outflow could be factors; the wastewater is treated with chlorine before emptying into the ocean two miles offshore.

Hollywood ha designado "Zonas de diversión" para ciertas actividades como juegos de playa (por ejemplo, frisbee), ciclismo, surf, pesca y patinaje, así que asegúrate de estar en el área designada antes de participar. En un informe emitido por el Consejo de Defensa de los Recursos Nacionales en junio de 2011, la playa de la calle Minnesota fue desafortunadamente la playa más contaminada en el condado de Broward debido al desbordamiento de aguas residuales, la escorrentía de agua contaminada y los desechos animales. En agosto de 2010, Minnesota Beach también verificó niveles peligrosamente altos de bacterias en el agua. Se ha especulado que la escorrentía de las fuertes lluvias y un escape cercano de la tubería de aguas residuales podrían ser factores importantes; Las aguas residuales se tratan con cloro antes de desembocar en el océano a dos millas de la costa.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
- Passed water quality tests at least 95% of the time
