Short scrub trails; Juno Dunes climbs a 45-ft dune with ocean views.

Beach
Longest rights in the area on N-NE swell; Juno Pier is the most reliable fall wave and the best check-in spot.

Park
11,500 acres on the Wild & Scenic Loxahatchee; 25 mi of hiking, 9-mi Camp Murphy mountain bike network. The kayak/boat-tour concession closed June 2026 — bring your own or launch from Riverbend Park. Scrub trails are brutal in Sept; go early or wait for Nov.

Park
Limestone blowholes spout 50 ft at high tide with big surf — most dramatic during a fall nor'easter or offshore hurricane swell.

Park · Free
680 acres, 10+ mi of shaded trails, best put-in for the cypress-canopied upper Loxahatchee. Jupiter Outdoor Center rents kayaks ($40) and bikes ($20) on site.

Park
Boardwalk over Lake Worth Lagoon, 2 mi of beach, snorkel-from-shore reef at high tide, kayak rentals.

Swimming hole
South Florida has no natural springs — they all sit north of Orlando. Local stand-ins: the spring-fed Venetian Pool in Coral Gables (1924 lagoon pool, $23, closed Mondays), the atoll pool at Matheson Hammock, the Snyder Park dog lake, and Peanut Island's snorkel lagoon.

Beach · Free
2.5 miles of off-leash beach, sunrise to sunset, free parking and bags. The gold standard; ~75 min away — pair it with a Jupiter dive, surf check or brewery.
Beach · Free
Often called the best shore dive in the US: 5–20 ft, marked snorkel trail, seahorses, octopus, eagle rays. Go within an hour of high tide only. Force-E and Pura Vida rent gear nearby.

Beach
Snorkel lagoon and east-side reef; weekdays in October are quiet, weekends are a sandbar party.
