The Town of Jupiter and the Village of Tequesta are nestled between Palm Beach Gardens and Stuart. Both areas cater to the outdoor style, as they wrap around the Loxahatchee River and Intracoastal Waterway, which provide incomparable views to residents. For this reason, water sports and boating are abundant. Jupiter and Tequesta also offer their share of championship golf courses and pristine beaches frequented often under consistently sunny skies.

The City of Riviera Beach and the West Palm Beach Fishing Club (WPBFC) will host the 14th annual Palm Beach County KDW Classic on Saturday, June 4th, at the Riviera Beach Marina.

Their goal is to produce a fun and moderately priced family fishing tournament that promotes the local marine and fishing industry, and benefits the marine conservation and educational efforts of the WPBFC and its charitable affiliate, the Palm Beach County Fishing Foundation (PBCFF). The PBCFF’s annual Kid’s Fishing Day for underprivileged youth and Rods & Reels for Kids are two programs that benefit from tournament proceeds. The WPBFC and PBCFF have been advocates on marine conservation and public access issues and actively support the marine habitat enhancement.
