Jupiter Florida

Jupiter is a small town in Palm Beach County, approximately twelve miles north of Palm Beach Shores on the southeast coast of Florida. It is one of the few towns in the area that does not have an island in front -- the beaches here are part of the mainland. Miles of exquisite coastline offer all types of beach activities, and biking along Jupiter's beautiful beachfront is a popular activity for both locals and visitors. Guided kayak and canoe tours along the Loxahatchee River are available in Jupiter, and the area also lures lots of scuba divers. Just northeast from the town of Jupiter is the southern tip of Jupiter Island.

As part of the "Treasure Coast of Florida, Jupiter Island is 17 miles long and is the southernmost of Florida's three barrier islands. While in Jupiter, be sure to visit Palm Beach County's oldest structure, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse. This redbrick, 105-foot-tall building has been in operation since 1860 and tours are given every half-hour. Jupiter offers a variety of restaurants and lodging, and all of the quaint boutiques, galleries and upscale shops of Palm Beach are just a short drive away.
