Vibe
Under-the-radar getaway for all ages. Framed by the Loxahatchee River, Jupiter Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean, Jupiter Beach Park and DuBois Park offer something for everyone. Here, kids paddle rubber rafts in placid lagoon waters; fishermen find easy pickings on the jetty; and the Atlantic beckons with a playground of waves. Popular but not overcrowded, these sister parks make for an ideal beach day, offering free parking, snorkeling adventures and a wealth of amenities.
See, feel
A jetty reaches out into the Atlantic at the northern tip of Jupiter Beach Park, inviting anglers to cast a line or sightseers to admire the chocolate-colored sand and decadent boats traversing the inlet. Expect lots of shells, green blue water and palms everywhere.
The lagoons offer quiet, shallow waters perfect for tiny tots, while on the Atlantic, anticipate some waves, which will vary according to winds, tides, and offshore systems.
On or near the beach
Outdoor experiences abound at these parks: enjoy a leisurely stroll on the boardwalk to soak up the natural beauty; snorkel in the picturesque lagoon, lush with vegetation and teeming with vibrant marine life; or picnic under a forest of swaying palms. Swimming, hunting for seashells, exploring the DuBois Pioneer Home, and fishing are a few of the ways to enjoy the salt air and sunshine.
