The Treasure Coast
Jupiter, Florida is located at the southern most of the tip of the Treasure Coast. Early in the 18th century several Spanish galleons shipwrecked off the coastline in the area known as Florida’s Treasure Coast. In 1715, a fleet of 10 Spanish ships set sail from Havana, Cuba laden with treasure destined for Spain. Three days into their voyage, nine of the 10 ships sunk off the coast of Florida in an atrocious storm– thus the name, the “Treasure Coast”. Many of the ships were carrying unknown quantities of silver and gold. Some of the treasure has been recovered, yet some continues to wash up on the shores of the Treasure Coast.
But beyond silver and gold pieces, Jupiter, Florida offers many other treasures for residents and visitors – beautiful sandy beaches, great fishing, golf and tennis, and shopping, restaurants, and nightlife!
