Jupiter

Home / Jupiter

In recent years, the town of Jupiter has boomed with the emergence of magnificent mansions. Despite the development, Jupiter still remains our favorite destination in South Florida to escape to nature. Find out if it could be yours too!

Jupiter and the Ocean

  • Jupiter is the closest land to the Gulf Stream.  The Gulf Stream is a major ocean current bringing warm, blue water from the Caribbean all the way to Europe.
  • Because of this, the town has amazingly blue water and plenty of marine life visiting the area.
  • Sharks are plentiful, making Jupiter one of the best shark diving destinations in the world.
  • Just south of Jupiter is Juno Beach. One of the world’s busiest beaches in terms of sea turtle nesting.
  • The Loggerhead Marinelife Center is located here. It’s a nonprofit turtle hospital specializing in education and rehabilitation of sea turtles.

Outdoor adventures are everywhere in Jupiter, Florida.  Hop on a boat for a shark diving excursion!  Many of the dive shops run trips suitable for all levels; and even non divers!

Seeking an ocean adventure?  You’ve come to the right place!  Diving and snorkeling, beautiful beaches, one of the most active sea turtle nesting sites, paddling through the inlet and intracoastal waters.

The Loggerhead Marine Life Center is a place you need to visit!  It’s a great place for a BBQ, family fun at the playground, and to learn all about sea turtles!

You can climb the steps of the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse!  The popular tourist attraction is open to the public!   Not to mention Coral Cove Park, Jonathon Dickinson State Park, and Blowing Rocks Nature Preserve.

You can even climb to the top of south Florida’s highest natural elevation: Hobe Mound in Jonathin Dickinson State Park!

It’s growing, but it’s one of the last beacons of nature left in South Florida.
