A rebuilt fishing pier and a growing beachfront scene.
Pompano Beach is in Broward County, Florida, on the Atlantic coast.
Pompano Beach is wedged almost evenly between two other Broward-area beaches on Coasti, Fort Lauderdale Beach some eight miles south and Boca Raton Beach barely more than that to the north. Metered parking runs along the shoreline. Lifeguards are on duty seasonally, and restrooms serve the main access points.

Flags run from green for low hazard to double red for water closed — see what each flag color means.
Weather and marine forecasts come from the National Weather Service at Pompano Beach Airpark (KPMP).
Red tide readings come from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission monitoring map.
Pompano Beach sees little of Florida's red tide, since Karenia brevis blooms are concentrated on the Gulf coast and only occasionally travel around the peninsula to the Atlantic side. Broward County's shoreline is still part of FWC's statewide monitoring. See today's statewide red tide status.
That depends on the flag and the surf, and both change through the day. Coasti shows the posted lifeguard flag when a current one exists, and estimates from surf, wind and rip-current risk when it does not. Today's answer for Pompano Beach loads at the top of this page.
