03 / The Beachfront
Pier, village, and beach, rebuilt on purpose.
Since 2015 the city and its Community Redevelopment Agency have put roughly $80 million into the beachfront. The result is a walkable district anchored by the pier, the fishing village, and the amphitheater.
The Fisher Family Pier
The pier reopened in April 2022 after a $12.5 million structural replacement. It runs 1,000 feet into the Atlantic, is engineered to withstand a Category 3 hurricane, and includes pedestal lighting, shade structures, a bait shop, and fish-cleaning stations. Open daily; check the city's parks page for hours.
City parks · Fisher Family PierPompano Beach Village
Six walkable acres at the east end of Atlantic Boulevard: restaurants, a tiki bar, shops, a dual-branded Tru/Home2 hotel, and a 609-space parking garage. Beach House, Oceanic, Lucky Fish, Baresco, Kilwins, and How You Brewin Coffee Company are part of the mix.
Pompano Beach Fishing VillageThe beach
About 10 minutes from Palm Aire. The beachfront runs from the pier district south along Pompano Beach Boulevard, with the rebuilt public space, dining, and the amphitheater a short walk apart.
Visit Pompano Beach04 / The Amp
About 3,000 seats under a wind-rated canopy.
The Pompano Beach Amphitheater reopened in February 2022 after a renovation that added a tensile fabric roof canopy, upgraded audio and visual systems, and new amenities. Concerts run through the year, with the lineup published by Pompano Beach Arts.
05 / Old Town
Downtown's dining and entertainment district.
Old Town, the historic downtown around the Cultural Center, is where the city's evening life is being rebuilt: Old Town Square residences, the Old Town's Backyard plaza, and a growing row of restaurants and bars.
