Tucked on Atlantic ICW (broward County), City of Hollywood Marina - Polk Street Boat Ramps is a saltwater launch that gives Broward County boaters direct access to some of the region's most fishable water. It's the kind of ramp locals keep in their rotation — close to home, reliably usable, and a quick run to open water. With 4 launch lanes, it can handle a busy weekend crowd without the usual bottleneck. As of the last FWC inventory update, a launch fee applies here.

What to know before you launch
- Rinse your trailer and engine with fresh water after launching in salt — corrosion is the enemy on Florida's coast.
- Even with multiple lanes, prep in the staging area first so you're not tying up a lane while loading gear.
- There are no restrooms on-site, so plan accordingly before you head out.
- Always check current tides, wind, and marine forecasts before you launch — Florida afternoons can turn stormy fast.
