The Fisher Family Pier and Pompano Beach Fishing Village: the 900-foot pier, restaurants and shops, the Great Lawn, parking, the free shuttle and events.

Last checked Oct. 10, 2026. Facts come from the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency pages on the pier development and the Pier Parking Garage, the Fisher Family Pier page, the Pompano Circuit page and the city’s events calendar.

The Pompano Beach Fishing Village is the city’s signature destination: a walkable, six-acre beachfront district at the foot of the rebuilt Fisher Family Pier, with restaurants, a tiki bar, shops, a hotel and the city’s Visitors Center. It sits around NE 2nd Street (Pier Street) and North Pompano Beach Boulevard, just north of Atlantic Boulevard.

The pier

The Fisher Family Pier, first built in 1963, reaches more than 900 feet into the Atlantic, according to the city. The rebuild that began in 2019 raised the deck to withstand sea level rise, nearly doubled its width for fishing and strolling, added large shade sails and marine-life artwork, and gave the entrance the shape of a pompano, the fish the city is named for.

The 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 marks the Continental Marines’ 1776 amphibious landing, the first on foreign soil.
