The beach is perfect for strolls at daybreak and sunset, and it's accessible to all abilities, with six wheelchair access points along the shore. If you’d like to lounge on the sand, unfurl your beach towel or rent a lounge chair, umbrella, or beach bed to soak up the peaceful sights and sounds.

POMPANO BEACH FISHER FAMILY PIER
Our Fisher Family Pier is a top local attraction, and with good reason. Here on the pier, activities range from pier fishing to gazing at the water from observation areas. Sightseeing at the pier is a free activity that everyone can enjoy. A unique feature of the pompano fish-shaped pier is a cutout (a fisheye) that lets you peer into the ocean below and spot sea life.
If you're interested in fishing from the pier and don't have your own equipment, we've got you covered. Stop into the Bait Shop at the entrance to the pier. For just $27 you can get everything you need. We'll set you up with a fishing rod, gear, bait (squid or shrimp), a bucket, and a knife to help you cut up your bait. The package also includes a one-day fishing license and parking validation.* You will need to leave your ID with them, which you will get back when you return your equipment. Beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and snacks are also available for purchase. Cast your line and reel in some memories!
