Pompano Joe's Surf Guide

Pompano Joe's is a restaurant sitting high atop a cliff, overlooking the Gulf. To get there, follow Old Highway 98 east to Pompano Joe's. There's a large parking area to the west, with bathrooms and showers. This break is popular for its great access and consistently good sandbar, as both the inside and outside work all year long.
