The Atlantic coastline defines Pompano Beach, a city of 112,000 stretched along three miles of sandy shoreline north of Fort Lauderdale. Tropical weather dominates year-round, with average temperatures ranging from the mid-60s in winter to the upper 80s in summer. The city's layout follows the classic South Florida pattern: coastal development along State Road A1A, the Intracoastal Waterway running parallel inland, and suburban neighborhoods spreading west toward the Everglades. Pompano Beach functions as both a residential community and a recreational destination, balancing permanent residents with seasonal visitors who appreciate the warm climate.
