Another beautiful day in paradise! The sun is glistening on the crystal blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean off the Jupiter, Florida’s white sand beaches.  Local fishermen are catching pompano right off the beach coastline as the sun rises colorfully over the horizon.  The colors of the early morning sunrises in Jupiter are enough to get most local artists out with easels and brushes. 

No need to leave your best friend at home.  Jupiter is home to one of the only dog friendly beaches in the State of Florida.  Dogs are allowed in the “non guarded” areas from Juno Beach to Jupiter.  It is requested that your pet is on a lease or under your voice command at all times, that you clean up after your pet, and that your pet is not bothering other beach-goers. …

The islands of the Abaco’s are a small chain of islands found in the Bahamas. Together they are known as the “boating capital of the world!” these small islands are surrounded by warm, clear waters and white sandy shawls.

Do you love the beach? Then move to Palm Beach County! This year, two of our towns were voted as Florida’s top beaches by the Travel Channel (a huge honor for Palm Beach County!). Palm Beach and Delray Beach made the top 10 beaches list. The local community works hard to keep Palm Beach County beaches and the surrounding real estate beautiful. We are very proud of our beaches and happy to know the nation is proud!

It is no secret that Jupiter is recognized for its fishing. In fact, Jupiter holds a good reputation for much more than just fishing (golf, real estate, celebrities, shopping, dining and entertainment, to name a few), but if you are looking for a new adventure and access to a boat doesn’t rest at your finger tips, try chartering! There are endless opportunities for you and your friends, kids or family to go out on a fishing charter here in Jupiter. 

Because Jupiter has been proclaimed one of the best sport fishing areas in Florida, the business of fishing charters has flourished. We have a couple of great recommendations for local captains who know the waters of Jupiter like the back of their hands.
