The beach and the pier
The city’s property tax explainer counts 3 miles of beaches, an 865-foot fishing pier, eight lifeguard towers and 30 lifeguard staff. The Fisher Family Pier is named for the Fisher family’s more than 100 years of civic service in Pompano Beach. It is also home to the First Marine Amphibious Landing Monument, which honors the Continental Marines’ 1776 landing. See the pier page for hours and fishing rules.
On weekends, the free Fishing Village Shuttle runs from park-and-ride lots at City Hall and in Old Town to the pier, Friday through Sunday and holidays, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Wahoo Bay
At Roy L. Rogers Family Park, 2700 N. Ocean Blvd., the city built Wahoo Bay, a shallow, protected bay where SEAHIVE concrete structures along the seawall cut wave energy and attract marine life. Daily open swim hours:
