Pompano Beach sits on the Atlantic coast in Broward County, between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, with a wide beach and a fishing pier that anchors the shoreline. The Pompano Beach Pier stretches into the Atlantic, offering fishing, sunrise views, and a vantage point for the coastline, while the nearby Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse stands at the inlet just north of town. Downtown Pompano Beach has rebuilt around the beach, with a cultural center, restaurants, and public art near the shore.
