Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Hillsboro Beach, FL

Hillsboro Beach is a town in Broward County, Florida, part of the Miami metropolitan area, strung along a narrow barrier-island peninsula between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean.

The town is known as "Florida's Magnificent Mile," and its only main road — State Road A1A, officially the Hillsboro Mile — is lined with mansions and is often called Millionaire's Mile.

Hillsboro Beach was named for the Earl of Hillsborough, who received large grants of Florida land from the English Crown while Florida was a British possession.

The town was first incorporated on June 12, 1939, but stayed inactive until it was officially incorporated by the Florida Legislature on March 4, 1947, and it was reincorporated again in 1969.

Hillsboro Beach's population was 1,987 at the 2020 census, with 1,169 households — and the population roughly doubles in winter when seasonal residents return.

It is one of the oldest communities in Florida by age profile: the median age at the 2020 census was 66.8 years, and 53.3% of residents were 65 or older.

The Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse, at the town's southern boundary, was first lit in 1907 — Congress rejected funding for it 17 times over 46 years before finally appropriating $90,000 in 1901.

Standing 138 feet tall and marking the northern end of the Florida Reef, the lighthouse's 5.5-million-candlepower beam makes it one of the most powerful lights on the U.S. East Coast.

Hillsboro Beach is almost purely residential: roughly 50 single-family homes, with most other residents living in condominiums, just one hotel, and no commercial properties at all.

The town protects one of the highest densities of sea turtle nests per mile on Florida's East Coast, with leatherback, loggerhead and green turtles nesting from March through October.
