Jupiter Island's exquisite beauty and promise of privacy are unparalleled. With a median home price of $5.6 million, it is home to some of the U.S.'s oldest and richest families. Located about 20 miles north of Palm Beach Island and a mere 30 min drive from Palm Beach International Airport, it is surrounded by turquoise waters and is truly private, yet minutes from the best of everything Jupiter and Palm Beach have to offer, from world famous shopping and dining to world class golf, sportfishing, snorkeling and diving. Thanks to the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, which comes nearest to the eastern seaboard of the U.S. at Jupiter Island, the average ocean temperatures here are a tropical 84 degrees Farenheit (29° Celcius) in the summer and 72 degrees (22° Celcius) in the winter.
Activities and Attractions:
Start the day watching the sunrise at Blowing Rocks Preserve, a place of unparalleled beauty minutes from your door. Or take a morning run on the palm shaded paths of Jupiter Island while gazing at the sprawling mansions. Or, rent a kayak or a canoe at the Jupiter Outdoor Center and go on an incredible journey down the Intracoastal Waterway to relax by the Loxahatchee River Sandbar or, the truly adventurous may choose to glide through the pristine tropical wilderness of Jonathan Dickinson State Park on the Loxahatchee River. Just remember to keep all limbs inside your boat as you will be gliding amongst alligators larger than your vessel!
For those who prefer pampering to the great outdoors, some shopping at Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton or Channel, among many other luxury bootiques at the nearby “Gardens Mall” in Palm Beach Gardens, on world renowned Worth Avenue in Palm Beach, or at “City Place" in West Palm Beach may be in order - perhaps followed by a visit to “The Spa at Jupiter Beach Resort” or “The Breakers” on Palm Beach Island.
Nearby are some of the best golf courses in Florida - one reason for the abundance of "Who's Who of the PGA" locals. Abacoa Golf Club, Golf Club of Jupiter, Jupiter Dunes Golf Course, Hammock Creek, The Florida Club, Lost Lake Golf Club, The Champions Club, and the newly redesigned Jack Nicklaus Signature Course -- North Palm Beach Country Club are just some of the public or semi-private golf course options for the avid golfer. Dozens of other top-notch private courses like Admiral's Cove and The Ritz-Carlton Club in Jupiter are here as well if you have friends with membership privileges.
Grab a drink or many and enjoy the tropical nightlife by the inlet at “The Square Grouper Tiki Bar” where Alan Jackson filmed the video “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere”- definitely the best party scene in Jupiter. Or relax in uber chic style at "Too Bizarre Wine Bar" where the sushi rivals Nobu's. Drink and dine in a lush tropical waterfront setting at "Guanabanas" and definitely do not miss the unbelievable food at the famous “Food Shack”, where discerning New York foodies revel in the island style cuisine! And for the best views in town, it's hard to beat the Crab House on the Jupiter Inlet overlooking the historic Lighthouse.
And then of course, there is your own beach, where you can set up shop for the day in comfortable chairs or sip a glass of your favorite libation perched on a romantic bench watching the moon rise...
