The biggest boating safety tip for Palm Beach County boaters is always wearing a lifejacket! Most people who drown in a boating accident could swim! Never rely on your ability to swim to keep you safe in a boating-related emergency! It is advised that you wear a United States Coast Guard-approved flotation device. In an emergency such as rough water, the onset of severe weather, or boating trouble like taking on water can occur and leave little time to put on life jackets.

Northern Palm Beach County is a popular place for the Sea Turtle Nesting Season. Along the shore in Jupiter and Juno Beach, hundreds of sea turtles lay their eggs in the sand. The Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach monitors the beach beginning May 1st through October 31st to provide care for the sick and injured sea turtles before releasing them back into the ocean. 

The thousands of sea turtle nests that will be found along the beach usually contain about 100 eggs in each, requiring 45 to 60 days before they start to hatch. The reason why Northern Palm Beach County is such a popular sea turtle nesting spot is due to the gulf stream current that bends toward Florida, and the close proximity to the Sargasso Sea, a small region in the…

The Town of Jupiter is one of the few remaining locations in the state of Florida to have dog-friendly beaches. The town adopted the policy in 1989 and since then, the area has grown to over 2.5 mile stretch along the beach. 

The Jupiter Dog Beach stretches from beach marker #25 at Marcinski road, going north to beach marker #59 at the south end of Carlin Park. In this designated area, dogs are allowed to roam freely but must be supervised. 

The Town of Jupiter has set in place a number of rules that should be followed when bringing your dog to the beach. Being able to bring your dog to the beach is considered a privilege that only a few towns in Florida allow. Free waste bags have been provided by the Friends of Jupiter at every cross station…
