Beaches
Jupiter has approximately 3.4 miles of beautiful beaches along its coastline. Jupiter’s beaches are known for their warm, clear waters and shores that are enveloped by the natural features of the area, such as dunes, mangroves, and sea grape trees. In addition to maintenance by the County and Town, Friends of Jupiter Beach, a local non-profit group, helps to keep our beaches clean and protect these natural resources that are enjoyed by residents and tourists alike.
Each area of Jupiter's beachfront has a different feel, whether you're looking to have a picnic, catch a wave, search for shells, or run with your pup. Here is some information to help residents and visitors plan their visit to local beaches, as well as some tips to keep the beach enjoyable for everyone:
