Discover Hillsboro Beach
2 carefully curated photography spots with GPS coordinates, shooting tips, and local insights
Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse
Classic white-and-red Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse sits on the rocky jetty where Intracoastal meets Atlantic — excellent for coastal, architectural and waterscape shots. Best at sunrise and golden hour for warm light and reflections; blue hour produces dramatic sky contrasts and long-exposure light trails from passing boats. Grounds are private but the tower is highly photogenic from the public beach, inlet park, jetties and nearby roads. Street parking along Hillsboro Mile and small parking areas
The Barefoot Mailman Statue
Bronze Barefoot Mailman statue on Hillsboro Mile commemorates South Florida’s unique coastal mail route. A compact, easily accessible subject next to municipal grounds and the beach — ideal for short visits. Best light is low sun (sunrise or late afternoon) for warm side-light and long shadows; weekday mornings are least crowded. Street parking/municipal lot nearby; be respectful of town property and visitors.
