The Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located in Pompano Beach, Florida. It was first lit in 1907 and stands at 142 feet tall, making it one of the tallest lighthouses in the state. The lighthouse is painted in a distinctive black and white pattern, which helps mariners identify it from a distance. The lighthouse is situated at the entrance of the Hillsboro Inlet, guiding boats safely into the waterway. It is an important navigational aid for both commercial and recreational vessels. The structure is still operational today and is maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard.
