Luxury Transportation in Hillsboro Beach, FL

There is one road in and out of Hillsboro Beach. State Road A1A runs the full length of the town, officially designated Hillsboro Mile, along a peninsula about three miles long and roughly nine hundred feet across at its widest.

However, you cannot reach it by car without crossing a drawbridge. Whichever end you come from, a bascule bridge stands between you and the address. That is the single most important thing about scheduling a car here, and almost nobody plans for it.

The Two Bridges

Both approaches are federally scheduled, so the openings are published rather than random.

  • From the south, out of Pompano Beach — the A1A bridge over Hillsboro Inlet. Between 7am and 6pm it need only open on the hour, quarter hour, half hour and three-quarter hour. Its closed clearance is low enough that almost every sportfisher and yacht needs a lift, so it opens often.
  • From the north, out of Deerfield Beach — the East Hillsboro Boulevard bridge, which opens on the hour and the half hour.

We build ten to fifteen minutes of bridge buffer into every Hillsboro Beach pickup. On an early flight we would far rather be waiting at your door than watching a span go up with your boarding time approaching.

Distances, and Why Palm Beach Often Wins

  • DJT (formerly Palm Beach International, still PBI to most travelers) — roughly 31 miles. Allow 40 to 65 minutes.
  • FLL — roughly 21 miles. Expect 35 to 60 minutes, bridge included.
  • Port Everglades — roughly 22 miles. Budget 40 to 60 minutes, longer on a cruise turnaround morning.
  • MIA — roughly 44 miles. Plan 60 to 90 minutes.

DJT is genuinely closer than Miami from here, and for many departures it is therefore the better choice. This far north in Broward that is a real decision rather than a formality.

The Lighthouse

Hillsboro Inlet Light stands at the southern end of the town, on the north side of the inlet. First lit in 1907 and automated in 1974, it remains an active aid to navigation. Although it is often misattributed to Pompano Beach or Lighthouse Point, it actually sits in Hillsboro Beach.

You cannot drive to it. Water surrounds it on three sides and a private club occupies the fourth. Public access is by boat tour only, run by the Hillsboro Lighthouse Preservation Society, and the tours require society membership. As a result, the boats leave from the Pompano Beach side of the inlet, which is where we would take you.

Bridge-Timed Airport Departures

Ten to fifteen minutes of bridge buffer built into every pickup, so a span opening never threatens your flight.

Port Everglades Cruise Transfers

Roughly 22 miles out, with extra time built in for cruise turnaround mornings at the port.

Lighthouse Tour Drop-Offs

Boat tours to Hillsboro Inlet Light leave from the Pompano Beach side of the inlet, which is where we take you.

One Hotel, No Commerce

The town states plainly that it has one hotel for visitors and no commercial properties at all. The Hillsboro Beach Resort by Kasa on Hillsboro Mile is the beachfront property most guests book.

The Hillsboro Club at the southern end is private and by invitation. It has guest rooms but it is not bookable lodging, and describing it as a hotel would be wrong.

No commerce means no restaurants in town. Dinner is in Deerfield Beach, Lighthouse Point or Boca Raton, and being driven there and back is not an indulgence, it is simply how evenings work on Hillsboro Mile.

Seasonal, Residential, Private

Hillsboro Mile is condominiums and estate homes for its full length, with a substantial winter population. Our work reflects that exactly: seasonal arrivals and departures booked well in advance, private club arrivals, charter fishing and lighthouse tour drop-offs at the inlet, and cruise transfers.

We do not publish anything about who lives where, and we do not discuss one client’s movements with another. On a street this small that matters more than usual.

Seasonal Resident Transfers

Winter arrivals and departures booked well in advance, often with the same chauffeur each season.

Private Club Arrivals

Discreet arrivals for the Hillsboro Club and estate addresses along the Mile, handled with the privacy this street requires.

Dinner Runs Off the Peninsula

Deerfield Beach, Lighthouse Point and Boca Raton are all short runs, since there are no restaurants on Hillsboro Mile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a bridge opening make me miss my flight?

Not with us. Both approaches to Hillsboro Beach have published opening schedules, so we time the crossing and add a ten to fifteen minute buffer as standard. It is the first thing we plan, not the last.

DJT is roughly 31 miles and MIA roughly 44, so Palm Beach is the closer of the two by a clear margin, with FLL closer still at about 21. The right answer depends on your airline and departure time. Tell us the flight.

Not to the lighthouse itself, because no road reaches it. Public access is by boat tour through the Hillsboro Lighthouse Preservation Society and requires membership. The tour boats leave from the Pompano Beach side of the inlet and that is where we drop you.

Deerfield Beach, Lighthouse Point and Boca Raton are all short runs, and dinner off the peninsula is the norm here rather than the exception. We will take you out and bring you back, bridge timing included.
