Once a month, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and Museum host a hike through their 120-acre Outstanding Natural Area.

The Andrew "Red" Harris Foundation is pleased to announce that the 2021 artificial reef project is progressing and the deployment of the first of five 500-ton barge loads of huge 8' long concrete culverts offshore of Jupiter Inlet. This year's project benefits from a donation of 2500 culverts valued at $450,000 to the Andrew "Red" Harris Foundation of Jupiter.

Have you ever wanted to learn how to play pickleball? Palm Beach County has lots of Pickleball courts to practice on. Pickleball is played on a badminton-sized court (20’ x 44’).  The ball is served diagonally, starting with the right-hand service-square, and points can only be scored by the side that serves.

The first side scoring eleven points and leading by at least two points wins. Pickleball can be played with singles or doubles.

To volley means to hit a ball in the air without first letting it…
