Hillsboro Beach

The Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse was built in 1906 by the Russell Wheel and Foundry Co. of Detroit and first lit on March 8, 1907. It stands 136 feet to the lens room, 147 feet overall, and its second-order Fresnel lens was made by Barbier, Bénard et Turenne of Paris.

The Hillsboro Lighthouse Preservation Society, a nonprofit, all-volunteer group, says the light was electrified in 1932, fully automated in 1973 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The society also runs the lighthouse tours and a museum. After a restoration, the classic lens was relit in 2000. Since 2002, the Coast Guard's Aids to Navigation teams from Miami and Fort Lauderdale have served as keeper.

The Hillsboro Inlet District was established in 1957 to maintain the inlet. Its eight commissioners are appointed by Broward County, Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hillsboro Beach, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Lighthouse Point, Pompano Beach and Sea Ranch Lakes. The district handles sand bypassing and inlet maintenance, and it provides drainage after storms for the communities to the west. It posts dredging summaries and depth charts on its site.

Slips, rules and conditions change. Please check directly with the marina or agency, and see the Hillsboro Inlet District for current information.
