Crandon Park’s calm shallows, Oleta River’s coves, and Hollywood’s long Broadwalk make South Florida a kid‑friendly playground. Collect your car rental and roll out before 9 a.m.—lots near dunes and shade trees fill fast on weekends. Hola Car Rentals keeps beach days simple with no additional fees, generous inclusions, and support when plans change.
Choosing beaches that fit your family
Key Biscayne (Crandon): Gentle surf and lifeguards make first days easy. Picnic tables and BBQs sit close to parking for quick nap breaks.
Oleta River State Park: Mix a short nature trail with a protected swim cove; bring water shoes for shells.
Hollywood & Dania: The Broadwalk is stroller‑friendly and packed with snack stops for little refuels.
Parking & shade game plan
Arrive early with a pop‑up tent and a soft cooler. For a Miami Beach day, review Miami Beach pickup options and choose a garage near your favorite block to shorten the carry. If you’ll sleep north of Aventura or finish the trip in Broward, shifting to Fort Lauderdale pickup can save time on the last day.
What to pack for easier exits
Rash guards, wide‑brim hats, and a spare set of dry clothes keep sand from hijacking lunch. A compact hand pump helps clear sandy toys before trunk loading. Keep a rinse jug and small towel by the rear bumper so mats stay clean.
Timing your day around naps and storms
Plan beach‑to‑lunch transitions before heat peaks. In summer, wrap swims by early afternoon and pivot to shaded parks or museum time if radar shows storms. With Hola Car Rentals you can opt for roomy trunks, add maximum liability coverage on selected itineraries, and enjoy free travel insurance up to US$150,000.
For visitors who prefer comparing availability in different formats, browse via car hire and keep an eye on morning pickup times that beat the rush.
- Bring quarters or a parking app backup for meters.
- Rinse feet at showers before re‑entering the vehicle.
- Store a beach‑day kit (wet bags, wipes, spare chargers) in the trunk.
Make it easy: Reserve with Hola Car Rentals and turn a simple beach day into a stress‑free family win.
