From climbing the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse to kayaking on the river to fishing and diving, eco-tourism is big in Jupiter, Florida.
Jupiter Florida’s newest and latest charm for eco-tourism is a new fishing pier!

The 225 ft. long and 13 ft. wide and about 8 feet above the water level pier just opened today on the Loxahatchee River. The Pier is located on the west side the U.S. 1 bridge and north of Burt Reynolds Park.  According to Palm Beach County records, the total cost for this new pier was about $1.1 million.

This pier replaces a demolished bridge that was built in the early 1920’s, the same bridge that was also featured in Smokey and The Bandit 2.

This new eco-friendly pier was well thought out in the construction process due to the aluminum-decked flooring; the sunshine can now reach the bottom of the sea floor and provide growth for vegetation and sea life to prosper, which in turn more supply of fish, manatee sightings, sea turtles, rays and other fascinating sea creatures will continue to thrive!

The highlights of this new pier:
-    Admission is Free
-    The pier is open 24/7

Enjoy the newest addition to our paradise of South Florida!
