Exploring Jupiter

At the north end of Palm Beach County, Jupiter sits along the wild and scenic Loxahatchee River, with access for paddlers through its parks.

Jupiter Lighthouse is a historic landmark that marks the south end of the Indian River Lagoon as it flows out into the Atlantic Ocean at Jupiter Inlet.

Natural lands are scattered throughout the community and include preserves with an ocean view as well as ones in the western marshes where the Loxahatchee River and its tributaries rise.
