Hello Adventurers!
I Hope everyone is safe and well!

South Florida’s newest dining and recreation destination.
Located at the Pompano Beach Fishing Pier (opening in October 2019) directly on the Atlantic Ocean with a Pier Street promenade it's a new, walkable beachfront development with something for everyone:

- Casual and upscale dining.
- Spectacular water views.
- Iconic architecture.

One of South Florida’s most beautiful and popular beaches!

The development is part of a major beachfront renovation that includes: dune restoration, landscaping, new beach pavilions, an interactive fountain, streetlights, new on-street, surface and structured parking, a new library, a new fire station, major sewer, water and drainage improvements and a new pier.

A beautiful 655 car parking garage has been completed, offering the most convenient parking of any South Florida beach town. Beach House Restaurant, the hottest new restaurant in South Florida, with its delicious cuisine and amazing views of the beach, the historic Hillsboro Lighthouse and new Pier, has been open since March 2018 and has received rave reviews from local critics! The landmark Oceanic Restaurant is nearing completion and will open in 3Q 2019 with spectacular views of the beach and a private room for social functions. Lucky Fish Beach Bar and Grill, an open air restaurant with a large Keys style Tiki Bar and live music, is expected to open in 4Q 2019, as will Alvin's Island, a beach apparel and water sports store. BurgerFi, Kilwin's and Cannoli Kitchen are under construction with opening planned in 1Q 2020. A dual branded, 150 room, Hilton Tru/Hilton Home2Suites hotel with a rooftop bar will open in 4Q 2020. And a 2 story events center with a roof deck, Lovin' Oven, suitable for corporate events and weddings, is in design.

Pompano Beach Fishing Village is accessible by foot, bicycle, car, bus and even water—the water taxi now stops at the west end of Pier Street, on the Intracoastal Waterway.

HILLSBORO LIGHTHOUSE HISTORY

hillsboro inlet lighthouse 1950sIn 1901, Congress authorized the construction of the Hillsboro lighthouse as it stands today. According to the bill, "This light is very much needed by vessels bound through the Florida straits into the Gulf of Mexico or to the island of Cuba. Its erection will complete the chain of lights which extend from Jupiter Inlet to Tortugas, so that the navigator can make one light before losing sight of another."

IN 1907, THE HILLSBORO LIGHTHOUSE WAS FIRST ILLUMINATED.

The light source was provided by an incandescent Oil Vapor Lamp, in a revolving in a Second Order Fresnel Lens floating on a pool of mercury. Later, the mercury was removed and the light source was replaced with a modern, more efficient alternative.

Back in the early days, the Hillsboro lighthouse was operated by a Lighthouse keeper that resided in the buildings at the base of the lighthouse. Today, the Hillsboro Lighthouse is fully automated and requires minimal human interaction to keep it running.

hillsboro inlet lighthouse 1930sFrom 1907 to the present day, the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse has withstood dangerous storms and the harsh marine environment in order to stand as a sentry and guide ocean voyagers in the right direction.  It not only continues to be a beacon, it accommodates visitors for tours.  Lighthouse Scenic Tours is the exclusive tour provider of the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse.
What makes the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse shine so brightly?  It is the Fresnel Lens developed by the French physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel.  The unique lens design allows for a thinner design compared to lenses of traditional design, and can capture more oblique light from a light source, such as an oil lamp, allowing the light to be more visible over greater distances.
