When you’re surrounded by the luxury of your upscale Sabbia Beach condominium, enjoying the breathtaking views, and relaxing on the beautiful, wide balcony, you may feel you’ll never want to leave. But you should. At least briefly. And that’s to explore the many attractions in and around Pompano Beach, all within minutes of your soon-to-be front door.

Here are just a few of the entertaining diversions you should consider:

Sport fishing

Deep-sea trips can be chartered for as few as one and as many as six. Your quarry will include sailfish, tuna, and king mackerel, among other denizens of the deep.

 

Air tours

With tours leaving from Pompano Beach, you can do your sightseeing from the air in a private plane. Want to fly it yourself? Introductory flights with a Certified Flight Instructor are available.

 

Scuba diving/snorkeling

Just off A1A in Pompano Beach, Scubatyme Charters provides the opportunity to see all the spectacular sights beneath the waves. Perhaps you want to visit the Pompano Beach Shipwreck Park, a world-class wreck diving and ecotourism site which saw its first attraction, the 324-foot Lady Luck, sink 1½ miles offshore this past July.

 

Boating/jet skis

Prefer to skim the shimmering waters yourself? Be sure to look into the many tour companies offering boat, jet ski, kayak and paddle board rentals.

 

Casinos/racing

Home to 1,500 slots and 38 poker tables, Pompano Park’s Isle Casino also boasts six restaurants, a high-tech sports bar, horse racing and live entertainment. The Hard Rock Casino in nearby Hollywood also features all-night casino gaming and live entertainment.

 

Golf

Of course! You have to golf in Florida. And Pompano Beach offers numerous opportunities. Check out the state-of-the-art Greg Norman Signature Pines course, among many others in the area, as well as the Palm Aire Country Club and the Crystal Lake Golf Club.

 

Colonnade outlets

The opportunities for shopping in the area are almost endless, but be sure not to miss the upscale shops and restaurants of the Colonnade outlets.

 

Fine dining

Dozens of restaurants call Pompano Beach home, and offer an array of fine cuisine to suit any taste, from Mediterranean to Caribbean-inspired to, naturally, seafood.

 

Antiquing

You can find four antique malls in Pompano Beach, with hundreds of individual dealers, each offering one-of-a-kind items for that unique look you’re seeking.
