Jupiter is quickly becoming one of the most popular beach towns in Florida. One of the main reasons is, naturally, the beach. Jupiter's beaches are four miles of protected paradise. From Ocean Cay Park to Jupiter Beach Park, stunning blue water meets bright, soft sand at the shoreline, and there are no houses directly on the beach.
