Standing tall, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, is a 105 feet brick beacon, painted bright red. As the oldest structure in the county, it welcomes visitors and residents to the community. It was conceived of in 1851, funded in 1853, constructed and lit on July 10, 1860. Placed as a warning to seafaring captains who’s vessels neared submerged reefs and sandbars. The US Coast Guard currently maintains the facility and communicates to captains whether it will be lit or not.
With just over 55,000 residents, this charming 21 square mile community offers the best of living by the sea. Whether you are single, a family or of the senior set, you’ll find plenty to enjoy here. Proud of its dedication to the environment, Jupiter excels at providing outdoor activities that help nature and enhance the town. Some people think of this as eco-tourism. Jupiter knows it is just the right way to live and do business.
So, what are a few options for enjoying this sea-side community? First, Jupiter offers nearly 3½ miles of stunning beaches including one of Florida’s only remaining dog-friendly ones. After time in the surf, you can check out Busch Wildlife Sanctuary or Riverbend Park, for wildlife viewing, hiking, biking and more. Like sports? Then a trip to Roger Dean Stadium for minor league baseball featuring the rotating schedules of Jupiter Hammerheads and the Palm Beach Cardinals is definitely in order.
Alongside the dedication to the outdoors, Jupiter excels at luxury living, capturing the best of single family residences in up-scale gated and country club communities, ocean-front condos, and charming apartments.
What if you are a young family? You might think that a community of this size would limit your options. Not so with Jupiter.
