The Hollywood Shores waterfront is one of our community’s most treasured amenities. It is privately owned and maintained by the Hollywood Shores Civic Association (HSCA) for the enjoyment of current members and residents.
All landscaping, maintenance, and improvements are made possible through membership dues and the countless hours donated by community volunteers.
If you’re a resident and not yet a member, we encourage you to join the HSCA and help preserve and enhance this beautiful waterfront for future generations.
Did you know? Residents may sponsor a non-resident for an Associate Membership.
