Beaches

What would a blog about Palm Beach County, Florida be without a post on beaches?  The only problem is that there are too many great beaches along our coast to tell about all of them!  But here are a just a few for now:

Jupiter Beach aka Dog Beach - currently the only beach in Palm Beach County where dogs are allowed (even off leash AS LONG AS THEY ARE UNDER YOUR DIRECT CONTROL).  This is a fun place to take Fido for swimming, running, and playing with other dogs.  Please respect others on the beach (if your dog isn't under your control he needs to be on a leash) and pick up after your pet (baggies are even provided at the top of the walkways).  This beach allows dogs for a 2.5 mile stretch in Jupiter along A1A from #25 to #59 (just south of Marcinski Road to Jupiter Beach Resort)

Ocean Reef Park (3860 North Ocean Drive, Riviera Beach, Florida - we love this guarded beach. They have a cool little rock ledge right off shore.  During low tide you can often walk on it finding small fish and other creatures.  It is also a good place to snorkel.

DuBois Park - (19075 DuBios Road, Jupiter, Florida) - this park has it all.  It is on the Jupiter Inlet, so you can walk along the inlet and do some fishing, you can go to the beach on the south side of the inlet, or there is a cool little swimming area on the interior of the park.  The water comes in and wraps around to create a protected pool (so usually little to no waves).  There are lifeguards in some of the swimming areas.
