Awards: TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence, 2012–2018Pompano Beach, Florida: Family-Friendly Beach Town with Reef and Wreck DivingAccording to local legend, Pompano Beach was named after a modest dinner. The story goes that one of the town’s founders came up with the moniker after enjoying a meal of pompano fish, which is native to the area. The tasty namesake helped establish this stretch of Florida’s Gold Coast as a sportfishing hub—the area is home to a popular tournament called the Pompano Beach Fishing Rodeo.It’s not the area’s main draw, though. That distinction goes to the city’s miles-long stretch of beach, where you’ll find some of the Atlantic coast’s warmest waters, courtesy of a bend in the Gulf Stream. This makes for ideal snorkeling and scuba-diving conditions; swim below the surface to see colorful coral-reef tracts and dozens of submerged shipwrecks.
