As you’d expect from a town named for a fish (the Florida pompano is a native species found off the Atlantic coast), Pompano Beach offers some of the best deep sea fishing in all of Florida. Cast a line right off the municipal fishing pier or head out on any of the town’s numerous charters and you’ll see why: in a day’s catch, you could return home with trophy marlin, mahi-mahi, barracuda, bluefish, grouper, and many more oversized fish.
Scuba divers and snorkelers will find hours of underwater entertainment exploring Shipwreck Park, a subsurface cultural arts park with rotating art exhibits.

But, if you prefer your adventures on land, you’ll also find a wide range of activities, from guided hikes through 247 acres of urban wilderness at Fern Forest Nature Center to playing slot machines, card games, and betting on horses at Isle Casino Racing at Pompano Park, searching for a one-of-a-kind keepsakes at the Festival Flea Market, and sampling tasty microbrews at 26 Degree Brewing Company.
