Hillsboro Inlet Park

Hillsboro Inlet Park is a small 1.2-acre park located in Pompano Beach, Florida. Situated on the east side of A1A just before the Hillsboro Bridge, the park offers visitors scenic views of the Hillsboro Inlet, where boats pass through between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean.

The park's main attraction is its vantage point for observing the historic Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse, which stands prominently in the distance. Built in 1906, this lighthouse is an important landmark, though direct access to it is limited as it is only open for tours a few times per year.

Hillsboro Inlet Park provides a tranquil setting for various outdoor activities. Visitors can enjoy fishing from the small dock that extends into the water, or simply relax and watch the boats go by. The park is also a popular spot for picnicking, with several tables available under palm trees that offer shade.

For families with children, the park features a small playground area. The park's location makes it an ideal place for a quick stop to enjoy the coastal scenery or for spending a leisurely afternoon outdoors.

It's worth noting that while the park offers beautiful views, parking can be limited, and visitors should be prepared to pay for parking using a mobile app, as traditional coin-operated meters are not available.
