Pompano Beach Club

Pompano, which is passionately run by an American family, understands its customers—and those customers return year after year for the casual atmosphere and beachfront location. A dining room with two-story glass windows overlooking the ocean makes it one of the most dramatic dining spots on the island, and there's also a popular game room with two PlayStation video game consoles, pool, foosball, and Ping-Pong. Of three hot tubs, two enjoy a privileged cliff-side perch overlooking the beach. Most memorable, however, the water here is clear and shallow—you can wade out through 400 yards of waist-high, crystal clear liquid to one of two floating platforms. A shuttle to and from the Port Royal Gold Course, and also the Hamilton ferry, is offered.
