Jupiter Area Beaches
This area has some of the best beaches in South
Florida! Our beach is not commercialized. Parking is free and
so is access to the beach. You can walk the beach for miles
without being in the shadows of high rise condos. Contrary to
many other places in South Florida, our beach is lined with
tropical landscaping, sand dunes, palm trees, and protected sea
turtle nests.
AND you don’t have to live right on the
ocean to be close to our exceptional beaches. Most of the
condos, town homes, and single family neighborhoods are only a
few minutes away by foot, bike, or car. Many of the beaches in
this area are Dog Friendly Beaches, and ALL are Family Friendly
too.
Boating in North Palm Beach
and Martin County
Florida has over 8,000 miles of
coastline and 4,500 square miles of inland waterways, making it
a paradise for boaters. From mega-yachts to wooden skiffs,
having a boat is as normal as having a car for some Floridians.
There are over 700,000 registered boats in the state, the 3rd
highest rate in the country.
If you are a boater, or if you’d like to be a boater, Jupiter
is an excellent location for you. The
Intracoastal Waterway is a natural but dredged channel that
extends 500 miles down the east coast of Florida to the tip of
the Keys. It's a very popular boating route that runs through
rivers, creeks and dredged canals. It is maintained by the
Florida Inland Navigation District.
The Jupiter Inlet allows you quick access
to the ocean, or you can cruise the Intracoastal Waterway North
to Jupiter Island, or South to Singer Island. Along the way
there are several restaurants and bars that welcome their
patrons arriving by boat. Travel inland and the Loxahatchee
River meanders it’s way through Jupiter and Tequesta. Hundreds
of canals allow residents of Jupiter ocean access from their
very own private boat dock. If you’d rather have someone else
watch over your boat, there are several marinas in this area.
Jupiter is in the Heart of “Florida’s
Golf Capital”

golf destinations, Palm Beach County is home to more than 160

what day, in what is acknowledged as "Florida's Golf Capital".
Lavish world-renowned resorts feature demanding courses and golf
pros who are excellent teachers, or have academies and
instruction on site. Visitors are always welcome at dozens of
public and semi-private courses from Boca Raton to Jupiter.
