3) Jupiter’s Dog-Friendly Beach

The 2.5 mile long beach, between marker #25 at Marcinski Road and going north to beach marker #59, is one of the last true dog-friendly beaches in all of Florida. Here, dogs can run off leash to their hearts content. Though off-leash friendly, the beach does have some rules to ensure the safety and happiness of pups and their two-legged companions.

 

 Dog Beach Rules:

 

•    Only behaved, obedient, well-socialized dogs should be brought to the beach.  Dogs at Jupiter Beach are not required to be on-leash, therefore only non-aggressive dogs that respond to voice commands from their owners are allowed. 

 

•    Be a responsible dog owner.  Because your dog is off-leash, please be vigilant and supervise your dog at all times, and do not go beyond the boundaries of the dog-friendly beach areas.

 

•    Obey the Town’s leash laws.  Dogs should be leashed while walking from the car to the beach.    

 

•    Dog owners should be conscientious of others at the beach.  While the dog-friendly areas play host to our furry friends, the beach is open to all people, and owners should be courteous to those who may not want to interact with dogs. 

 

•   Leave no trace.  Friends of Jupiter Beach provides dog waste bags at every crossover along the dog-friendly beach areas to ensure that our beaches are kept clean.  Please do your part to maintain the cleanliness of the beach for everyone.
