One of the best things about Pompano Beach is that it truly has something for everyone. Whether traveling solo, visiting with friends, or bringing the whole family, it’s easy to find activities everyone will enjoy.

Not sure where to start? We’ve rounded up the top things to do in Pompano Beach to help you make the most of your trip. Here are the top picks to make your trip truly unforgettable.

Kick off your trip with a visit to the Fisher Family Pier, a landmark shaped like a pompano fish that juts proudly into the Atlantic Ocean. The pier is perfect for sunrise walks, photo ops, and relaxing ocean views. Whether you’re casting a line or simply strolling above the waves, this spot blends the laid-back Florida vibe with scenic beauty.

The surrounding beachfront has been revitalized with wide boardwalks, shaded areas, and oceanfront dining. You’ll often spot dolphins, sea turtles, and surfers catching early morning waves. Families love the nearby splash pad and beach playground, making this an easy win for visitors of all ages.

Good to know: Bring your camera at sunrise or sunset because the lighting is perfect for stunning photos. The nearby Great Lawn often hosts free events and food trucks, so check the city calendar before you go.

Shipwreck Park is one of South Florida’s top snorkeling and scuba diving destinations, just one mile offshore. Home to the Lady Luck, a 324-foot sunken tanker turned artificial reef, the site combines underwater art and marine conservation in an inspiring and interactive way.

The ship is adorned with installations from local artists, think submerged slot machines and mermaid sculptures, while the surrounding reef attracts vibrant fish, rays, and sea turtles. Nearby, the Okinawa tugboat offers a more compact dive site, perfect for beginners.

Don’t dive? Local charters offer glass-bottom boat tours, so even non-swimmers can catch a glimpse of the magic below. Many local tour operators also offer guided snorkeling trips or “discover diving” programs for beginners. Book early during high season to reserve your spot.

You don’t have to travel far to experience the creative things to do in Pompano Beach. The Pompano Beach Cultural Center hosts rotating exhibits, theater performances, and workshops for all ages. There’s always something happening, from jazz concerts to spoken word poetry nights.

Venture downtown to explore the Downtown Mural Project, where alleyways and walls burst with colorful street art. Keep your eyes out for the whimsical pompano fish sculptures throughout the city, each reflecting local themes and stories. For a deeper dive into the arts, visit Bailey Contemporary Arts (BaCA), which offers open artist studios and interactive community events.

Good to know: Check the Pompano Beach Cultural Center’s event calendar before your visit, many exhibits and performances are free or donation-based. And if you’re exploring murals downtown, wear comfy shoes and bring water, there’s a lot to see on foot.

If you’re planning a coastal getaway, you’ll love how many exciting things to do in Pompano Beach are just steps from the sand. Pompano Beach is a playground for water lovers. Deep-sea fishing charters head out daily for sailfish, mahi-mahi, snapper, and grouper. You can also rent a boat and cruise the Intracoastal Waterway, passing luxury homes and scenic mangrove-lined canals.

Prefer to stay closer to shore? Try kayak fishing, rent a paddleboard, or join a party boat for a relaxed, social trip. Most excursions include gear, bait, and expert guides, so even beginners can dive right in. Fishing from the pier is another excellent option, and you don’t need a license!

One of the top things to do in Pompano Beach is eat! Few things top a meal with an ocean breeze, and Pompano Beach delivers. The dining scene here is full of local flavor and unbeatable views. At Beach House Pompano, grab rooftop seating and enjoy lobster rolls, ceviche, and tropical cocktails while the waves crash below.

Craving something casual? Head to Lucky Fish Beach Bar, where toes-in-the-sand dining meets live island music. For a more upscale option, Oceanic offers fresh seafood and an elegant coastal menu in a stunning modern space. No matter where you dine, you’ll enjoy gorgeous sunsets, friendly service, and flavors that reflect the city’s coastal roots.

Arrive just before sunset to score a table with the best view, especially at popular spots like Beach House. Want a more relaxed vibe? Try lunch instead of dinner when the crowds are lighter, but the views are just as beautiful.

Pompano Beach makes it easy to explore by bike, with plenty of trails that suit both leisurely rides and cardio-heavy treks. The Pompano Airpark Trail is a 4.5-mile paved loop perfect for families or casual cyclists. It wraps around the airport and offers open skies, clean paths, and scenic views.

Looking for something longer? Try the Cypress Creek Greenway, which links several parks and preserves across Broward County. Ride through wetlands, over bridges, and past wildlife as you soak up South Florida’s natural side.

Good to know: Many local hotels and shops offer bike rentals, and the flat terrain makes it perfect for riders of all skill levels.

Pompano Beach knows how to have a good time. From laid-back beach bar gigs to large-scale festivals, the city offers live music and seasonal events. Don’t miss Music Under the Stars, a monthly free outdoor concert at the Great Lawn near the pier.

Throughout the year, you’ll also find art festivals, food truck rallies, and cultural celebrations that unite the community. The boat parade and festive markets light up the Intracoastal during the holidays. Head to Lucky Fish or Beach House in the evenings for local bands, cocktails, and a casual crowd ready to dance or unwind.

Getting around is easy, especially if you plan to stay near the pier area or downtown. Many top attractions, restaurants, and shops are walkable or bike-friendly. Use ride-share services, rent a car, or hop on the Broward County Transit bus system for longer distances.

If you’re staying near the water, boat charters and water taxis can also be a scenic and fun way to get from place to place. Parking is generally easy at public beaches and parks, but arrive early during weekends or holidays to get the best spots.

What makes Pompano Beach different from other Florida hotspots? It balances laid-back charm, natural beauty, and modern upgrades. The city has undergone a thoughtful transformation in recent years, adding public art, revamping the pier, and enhancing beach access while maintaining a strong sense of community.

It’s also far less crowded than nearby Miami or Fort Lauderdale, offering a slower pace without sacrificing fun. Whether you’re into fishing, diving, food, or culture, you’ll find your slice of paradise without fighting for beach chairs or dinner reservations.

There are things to do in Pompano Beach all year, but your experience will vary depending on the season. For sunny skies and beach-perfect weather, visit between December and April, when humidity is low and temperatures stay in the 70s and 80s. Summer and early fall bring warmer days, fewer crowds, and occasional afternoon rain showers. These months are great for travelers looking for off-season rates and a quieter vibe.

If you’re planning around events, look out for the Seafood Festival in April and the holiday boat parade in December, both of which are beloved local traditions.

There are so many things to do in Pompano Beach that make every visit unique. With Casiola Broward County as your home base, you’ll have everything you need to explore, relax, and create lasting memories in this unforgettable coastal destination.
