Many hands make for little work! Jupiter and Juno Beach have some of the most pristine beaches in Palm Beach County. It is all in thanks to locals who volunteer to keep the beach clean. There are organized beach clean ups to attend or just do your own beach clean-up on your own.

Sometimes you just can make it to the ocean, so bring the ocean to you – via webcam! Live webcams offer virtual excursions to Palm Beach County sights and attractions, including beaches, shorelines, and piers. Rain or shine watch the waves roll ashore. Let the sparkles glisten on the ocean’s surface, bright white beaches, and Palm fronds sway in the tropical breeze.

Watch for free online. No sunscreen is required. Flip-flops optional.

Every year between March and October, the pristine beaches are decorated with orange-colored tape and signs to show where these amazing, archaic sea creatures have buried their nest.

Under the pale light the moon shines onto the beaches, turtle nesting season is such an awe-inspiring scene to watch. As the sea turtles made their way up to the beach to dig holes in the sand and lay their eggs and then they disappear back into the deep blue.

Up and down the beautiful Atlantic Coast, you can witness this amazing spectacle yourself as environmental groups and parks…

Jupiter has miles and miles of beautiful beaches along its coastline. Jupiter’s beaches are known for their warm, clear waters and shores that are enveloped by the natural features of the area, such as dunes, mangroves, and sea grape trees. Each area of Jupiter's beachfront has a different feel, whether you are looking to have a family picnic, catch a wave, search for shells, or bring your furry family member to play at the beach.
