Whiskey Creek- Hollywood, FL

Located within John Lloyd State Park. Kinda dirty water, not great for swimming. Low bridge clearance. So what do I like about it? I can beach my boat, walk across the sand and swim in the ocean. They also have The Loggerhead Cafe which has pretty good food cheap.

Re: Whiskey Creek- Hollywood, FL

Whiskey Creek is a great place to beach your boat. Beware though as the there is no alcohol allowed in the park or dogs. If you stay close to the boat the rangers are pretty nice about it but they have atv's and monitor the beach all the time. I thinks its a hefty fine as well. All around great place but you have a very high and very low tide so moniter it carefully to make sure you can get out at the end of the day. (saw a rental hurricane deck boat on the beach and by the end of the day not even the engine skeg on the outdrive was in the water)

Re: Whiskey Creek- Hollywood, FL

The no alcahol law is BS, they sell beer at the Loggerhead resturant. You are just not allowed to have it on the beach, you can drink it in your boat. I go there almost every Sunday and drink plenty of beer there. If you want to stroll the beach just pour it in a cup.

They are also not enforcing the dog thing to much, I am seeing a lot of dogs there lately, nobody says anything as long as they are leashed.

Good, its nice to hear that they are not enforcing as hard. We went almost every weekend for about a month this sumer and everyone we pulled up with kept getting yelled at. They must of finally relized that most boats are fueled by beer.

Re: Whiskey Creek- Hollywood, FL

I go there almost every weekend, and it's a great place especially if you have children. My son loves it. He always finds other kids to play with, right there by the boat. The water is not always that dirty and there is always an option to walk to the beach.
The only problem is the shallow waters. Beware if you get there on low tide. I have bent a few props on the sand backing up during low tide. If you draft more than 3 feet, this is not your place at low tide.
It's good to have a restaurant next to your boat if you don't want to cook on the boat. It's no 5-star restaurant, but they have a few good things on the menu at reasonable price.
Yes, have your beer on the boat or on your raft tied up to your boat. That's what I do. They sell beer at the restaurant but you cannot take them to the beach.
Open from sunrise to sunset. I really hope I could spend the night there, but state parks will not allow that.
It would make a great place for a raft-up of raft-up.com.:)
