Enjoy a Stroll through a Beach Park

Jupiter Beach Park is a wonderful bit of paradise that is sandwiched between the Atlantic ocean and the inland waterways. The park comprises over 49 acres and provides wonderful range of sights and activities.

On the ocean side you have a great beach for swimming and a jetty that is just right for fishing. You have all the sights and sounds of the ocean from the crashing of the waves to the pelicans that can be seen on the rocks.

On the inland waterways you see great tropical trees and shrubs like mangrove trees and sea grapes. There is also a great swimming hole where the inlet goes into the inland waterway. The park has lots of picnic grounds, a playground, restroom facilities, and lots of benches where you can stop and rest and take in the sights.

The condo where we stay when we are in Jupiter is just across the road from this park and each morning I walk in the park. I always have my camera with me and love to take photos in different weather and lighting conditions. I also visit the park in the evening to capture the scenery in a different light.

A View of the Ocean

As you enter the park there is a great path for walkers and cyclists. Walking along the path, I catch a glimpse of the ocean through the sea grapes and palms.

Path to the Sea

Seagrapes make an arch on this path to the sea in Jupiter Beach Park.

Seashells at the Seashore

early morning shells at the beach

On my early morning walk I came across these seashells glistening in the sun. I love to stop and pick up a few interesting seashells. They make great decorating pieces and I also use them for crafts with my granddaughters and my Mom's nursing home.

Fishing on the Jetty

Whenever I have visited the park from early morning till late in the evening there are always fisherman on the jetty! I have seen them pull in some good catches too!

Here is a pelican sitting on the rocks below the jetty.

Swimming Hole

a great place to spend a sunny afternoon

Where the water flows from the sea to the inlet and then on to the inland waterway is a great hole for swimming. It is manned with lifeguards during certain hours and you often see families enjoying the shallow waters.

Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse

view from the park

At the north end of the park you have a wonderful view of the lighthouse across the inlet. I took this photo of the lighthouse on my evening walk.

Jupiter Beach Park after Sunset

End of a Perfect Day

I took this photo just after sunset on a clear March evening. The colors in the sky were spectacular and I love the way the palms are shown in a silhouette against the sky.

    I had to look on the map to see exactly where this is in relation to our home. It's quite a ways, but next time we head south I'll have it on my list of places to stop. My very favorite place to walk is Princess Place Preserve near Palm Coast, FL.
