After a relaxing day of soaking up the sun in Pompano Beach, Florida, there’s no better way to unwind than watching the sunset. Pompano Beach is home to some of the most breathtaking sunsets you’ll ever witness. The red, orange, and pink hues are thanks to the sun reflecting on ashes from natural swamp fires and sugar mill processing in the Everglades, halfway across the state. They create a dazzling display that you won’t want to miss.
At Beach Vacation Rentals, we highly recommend our guests sit down and take in this amazing spectacle. When you’re staying at this East Coast beach: sunrises (and moonrises) are over the ocean. Sunsets are over the Intracoastal Waterway. To ensure you experience the beauty of Pompano Beach’s sunsets, we’ve put together a guide on some of the best places to take in immaculate sunset views.
