About Jupiter

Jupiter is a coastal town that is well known for its beaches and oceanfront lifestyle. The Town of Jupiter and Palm Beach County have worked to provide a unique and long stretch of golden sand beach with many amenities including parks, recreational areas, preserved green space, dog friendly beaches, free public parking and an ease of pedestrian access.

Jupiter also offers the scenic Loxahatchee River and its natural habitats. From kayaking, fishing, and boating, there are many activities. After playing all day, enjoy our "small town feel" by visiting one of the many family owned restaurants and shops. 

Jupiter has so much to offer and a couple of my recommendations would be to visit Blowing Rocks on a good swell, kayak Riverbend Park or the Loxahatchee River, play tennis at Carlin Park, enjoy breakfast at Loggerhead / Civic Center, go for a morning run down A1A or the running track at Carlin Park, catch a sunset at the Square Grouper, play a game of beach volleyball at Ocean Cay Park, snorkeling at Coral Cove, a bike ride at Jonathan Dickinson, visit the lighthouse, stop by and see the turtles at the Loggerhead Marine Center and more....
