Description
Legend says a railroad employee wrote down what he had for dinner one evening and that’s how this Broward County beach playground got its name. Today, the city of Pompano Beach (with landmark Hillsboro Lighthouse) is known for its small town feeling and beautiful beach where the fish are still abundant offshore.
