Hillsboro Lighthouse Museum - Pompano Beach (FL)

5 /5 Chris Rehberg: Finding this museum was a very pleasant surprise! I wish we had been able to take a tour of the lighthouse, but we will have to catch that opportunity on the next trip. Seeing all of the historical photos and how the appearance of the inlet has changed over the years was very nostalgic. This is a great place to visit, especially if you are a local!

5 /5 Randolph Lyle: The inle is clean and beautiful, you can stay there for hours and not get bored. Bring a picnic lunch, or stop by the shops located nearby and enjoy there goods There is a small playground for the kids , and you can take some worthwhile Instagram shots. Enjoy.

5 /5 Exploring with Jade: Imagine standing on the soft sands of Pompano Beach, gazing out at the sparkling waters where the Hillsboro Lighthouse stands tall, a beacon of history and beauty. Built in 1907, this lighthouse is like a time capsule, with its powerful light flashing every 20 seconds, reaching out an incredible 28 miles into the horizon. Getting up close to this maritime marvel isnt easy, though. Tucked away on an active Coast Guard base, the lighthouse isnt usually open to the public. But dont fret! Every month, they open their doors for guided tours, and trust me, its worth the wait. The best part? You can only get there by boat, adding an extra dash of adventure to your journey. Check out the Hillsboro Lighthouse website for all the details on tour times, how to get there, and what to wear. Trust me, you wont want to miss this chance to explore a piece of South Floridas history. So next time you find yourself on Floridas sunny shores, make sure to pencil in a visit to the Hillsboro Lighthouse. Its not just a beacon of light—its a beacon of unforgettable memories.

5 /5 Holly Crumrine: Cute little museum and gift shop for the Hillsboro Lighthouse. Staff were so kind and helpful with all sorts of information. Worth a quick stop!

5 /5 Amelia Ram: You have to download an app to pay for parking. We used the Passport app. Nice view of the lighthouse. The ladies in the gift shop were very nice. Good selection of items for sale and interesting things to look at. The restrooms were clean. If you actually want to visit the lighthouse itself, make sure and look up when the tours are.
