The "best" is a matter of opinion. That's why there are so many different "best" lists out there. So, how do we get a consensus? Well, the most common sense way would be a simple statistical analysis. So, here we go. We looked at some of the most-viewed lists of "best hotels in Palm Beach County" on the internet and cross-checked them for you.

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. Instead, there are mangrove trees, sea grape trees, and palm trees lining the bluff leading up to A1A. Jupiter is everything you want in a beach town. Here's an expert's guide to the Jupiter, Florida beaches.

If you are like me and cannot wait to get out there, here are some beach essentials everyone should be looking to bring with them this summer. 

Sun Protection 

Yes, I know this is not the flashiest or most fun thing to talk about, but it is a necessity, especially here in Florida.
