Cleanliness & Beach Behavior

At Heed Beach we have the lucky chance to receive the turtles during their season.
Just like you, they would love to come to a clean beach. The turtles tend to deliver in a clean area, as well. So, please be mindful and do your best to keep the beach clean.
The Beach Team cleans the beach every day. Preserve the beach habitat.

Heed Beach has set up 8 trash cans in the area.
We ask our Guests to be respectful of Nature and the turtles by throwing their garbage in the available trash cans.
Non-disposable utensils are not authorized such as plastic or metal.

When you leave the beach remember to take back with you all the items you brought to the beach.

Rules by the City of Hallandale and Broward County

During the Turtle Season the Beach Boys must wait before setting up. Broward County management implements a sea turtle conservation program that performs daily nesting surveys. Without their approval we cannot start setting up.
Heed Beach does it’s best to provide your service on time, be patient with our employees as we have to comply with the rules.

After 5pm, all beach set ups must be removed to leave the space for the public.

All chairs, umbrellas, and towels must be removed.
Hallandale Beach residents can receive 20% off on beach chairs and umbrella (ID will be required).

Weather condition

Hurricane

During any hurricane alert, by the order of the City of Hallandale Beach, we will be subjected to suspend all beach services prior to and after the alert in order have enough time to remove and to set up again.  

HEED Beach has metal chairs and umbrellas, the metal is a good conductor and can cause severe damage. During the alert and for your safety, everyone must leave the beach,
The service will be restarted after approval by the beach rescue. 

Wind and Gust

We have to pay attention to gusts or tunnels. It is our discretion to set up the umbrella. Our staff is trained to pay attention to the possible dangers caused by the item, because it can be blown away.

High Tide

High tide on the beach can cause several issues.
Beach erosion is our principal concern at HEED Beach.
The length of the beach will be reduced and doesn’t allow us the possibility to organize or regularly set up. We have to respect the rules according to the laws by the City of Hallandale Beach.
We are sorry for the any inconvenience; the service may be interrupted for a few hours.

Rain Condition

During the rain, the service will be temporarily stopped. Just like our customers, our staff is also important, and we must protect and allow them to work under good conditions.

The staff is trained to follow the radar conditions and may anticipate some change in weather conditions.
