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.


Andrew “Red” Harris was a true Jupiter waterman. Whether he was hunting for fish in the Bahamas, searching for lobster under ledges or just snorkeling in the Intracoastal, Andrew’s love for the ocean was always so apparent. On June 8, 2014, our community suffered a heartbreaking loss. This promising 26-year-old was struck by a boat while snorkeling in the Jupiter Inlet.

Martha and Scott Harris want to make sure their son will never be forgotten. The Andrew “Red” Harris Foundation was founded in 2014 to honor Andrew’s memory and keep his legacy alive. This 501C3 non-profit organization puts one hundred percent of contributions into enhancing and sustaining the marine environment in Palm Beach County. The foundation is focusing on building…

Pull up a chair and get cozy for a night of spectacular proportions this Sunday! Across North America the night sky will show a “comic ballet” where you will be able to see a lunar eclipse. The moon will travel across the sky that will create a lunar eclipse unseen since 1982 and not to be seen again until 2033. 

A lunar eclipse like this one has only occurred five times since 1900. It has been named a “super moon.” It has been given the name super because of it is a moon in perigee- or the closest it will come to Earth in its orbit around the planet. The perigee is a monthly occurrence, however, Sunday’s perigee will mark the closest perigee of the year. According to Alan MacRobert, senior editor of Sky and Telescope Magazine, the moon will only be…
