What it’s like to live in Pompano Beach
The beach runs from Terra Mar Drive north to Hillsboro Inlet, where the Hillsboro Lighthouse has guarded the channel since 1906. A 1,000-foot fishing pier anchors the redeveloped beach district, and offshore reefs and shipwrecks draw divers.
Away from the sand, the city has two 18-hole municipal golf courses, the Pompano Beach Airpark (home base of the Goodyear Blimp) and a downtown that continues to grow. Homes range from waterfront properties in Garden Isles and Harbor Village to golf-course communities in Palm Aire and Cypress Bend.
