Lighthouse Point is defined by its extensive network of residential canals and its strong boating identity. Set between Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach, this primarily residential city is known for tropical landscaping, quiet streets, waterfront homes, and private docks with convenient access to the Intracoastal Waterway, Hillsboro Inlet, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Dan Witt Park, Frank McDonough Park, the city marina, and local gathering places support an active community life away from the water. With limited commercial development inside the city and beaches, restaurants, shopping, and marinas nearby, Lighthouse Point offers a relaxed, close-knit setting where waterfront living remains the defining attraction.
