Pompano Beach, a coastal gem with a rich history and a vibrant cultural scene.

Welcome to Pompano Beach

Welcome to Pompano Beach, a coastal gem with a rich history and a vibrant cultural scene. In 1896, Frank Sheen, a railroad employee, noted the local fish he enjoyed for dinner—pompano—while surveying the land. When the city officially incorporated in 1947, it proudly adopted the fish's name. Today, Pompano's Public Art Committee celebrates this association by installing captivating sculptures like "Splash of Splendor" and "Big Fish Small Pond" throughout the city.
 
Pompano Beach offers a perfect blend of tranquility and activity. In 2017, the city unveiled its state-of-the-art cultural center, featuring a 400-seat theater. The Great Lawn in front hosts delightful gatherings for evening movies and concerts. Residents of all ages enjoy the peaceful parks and beaches, providing ample space for spontaneous adventures. When Fort Lauderdale's sands are crowded, Pompano Beach offers serene alternatives, and its annual Seafood Festival and local culinary delights like Sunset Catch and Rusty Hook celebrate fresh seafood year-round.
 
For shopping with local charm, the Hillsboro Antique Mall at Festival Market Place is a hidden gem. Pompano Beach's housing options are as diverse as its attractions, offering a variety of single-family homes and condos. Many highrises provide stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, showcasing the city's charming Spanish Colonial style with pastel colors and ceramic roofs.
 
Pompano Beach is not just about relaxation; it's a haven for underwater enthusiasts. The Pompano Beach Dive Center beckons scuba enthusiasts with 60 dive and snorkeling sites within 20 minutes of the inlet. Shipwreck dives, like the famous Lady Luck, offer thrilling encounters with Atlantic goliath groupers and sea turtles. Whether you're seeking cultural experiences, culinary delights, or underwater adventures, Pompano Beach is a splash of splendor waiting to be explored.
