Pompano Beach Local's Guide: Best Things to Wear and Do

Pompano Beach, Florida — nestled between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton on South Florida's Gold Coast — is one of the most underrated beach towns in the state. While tourists flock to Miami and the Keys, locals know that Pompano is where the real Florida lifestyle happens.

As a brand born and designed right here in Pompano Beach, True Local knows this town inside and out. Here's your local's guide to the best of Pompano — and what to wear while you're doing it.

Hit the Pompano Beach Pier

The Pompano Beach pier is a landmark. Whether you're fishing for pompano (obviously), snook, or just watching the sunrise with a coffee, it's the heart of the beach. Wear a True Local trucker hat and a dri-fit tee — you'll need sun protection and something that dries fast if you get splashed.

Fish the Intracoastal

Pompano's Intracoastal Waterway is loaded with snook, tarpon, and mangrove snapper. For a full day on the water, pair a UPF long sleeve with a mesh-back trucker hat. The Salty & Savage or Mahi designs were made for exactly this.

Beach Day at the Great Lawn

The redesigned beachfront along Atlantic Boulevard features the Great Lawn, splash pads for kids, and direct beach access. It's the new social hub of Pompano Beach. Rock a racerback tank top and a Bikini trucker hat for the perfect beach look.

Tiki Bar Season (All Year)

Let's be honest — in Pompano Beach, it's always tiki bar season. Whether you're at Oceanic, Aruba Beach Cafe, or one of the spots along the Intracoastal, the dress code is simple: hat, tee, flip-flops. The Pompano Bitch collection was literally designed for these moments.

Dive the Pompano Reef

Pompano Beach has some of the best shore diving in Florida. The artificial reef system along the beach is accessible without a boat. Post-dive, grab a True Local tumbler for cold drinks while you swap dive stories.

Rep Your City

Pompano Beach doesn't get the same hype as Fort Lauderdale or Miami — and honestly, we like it that way. But if you're proud of where you're from, wear it. The Pompano Proud trucker hats and Pompano Bitch collection are for people who know that Pompano is the real Florida.
