About this site
Lighthouse Ledge is a reef and drift dive off Pompano Beach, Florida, named after the historic Hillsboro Lighthouse just inshore and described as one of the best reefs in Broward County.
Large soft corals adorn the northern hook of the reef. The best section of the 6 to 8 foot (2 to 2.5 m) ledge faces west, with depths of 45 feet (14 m) on top and 50 to 55 feet (15 to 17 m) in the sand. It is a good spot for lobster, hogfish and plenty of tropical fish.
