Overview

Jupiter Civic Center is a beach access point in Jupiter, just south of the famous Jupiter Inlet. The spot offers Atlantic access with views of the historic Jupiter Lighthouse (1860). The east-facing beach is a good launch point for kitesurfing, with the option to ride north toward the inlet or south along the coast. Less technical than Jupiter Inlet to the north.
