Jupiter Dog Beach

Sand, Surf, and Your Four-Legged Friends

Jupiter is known for our beautiful beaches – for people and dogs. That's right. Jupiter's Dog Beach is one of the last remaining dog-friendly beaches in Florida. We realize that a day at the beach isn't truly complete without your best friend. But to make sure that everybody enjoys their day at Dog Beach, there are a few simple rules by which we all must abide:

• Keep dogs on a leash or under control at all times. Always leash up between the car and the beach, around small children, at the water fountains, and at the crossovers.
• While off-leash, let dogs run only in uncrowded areas.
• Don't let dogs approach unless invited or go to the restroom near other people or dogs.
• Clean up after your dogs with Friends of Jupiter Beach (FJB) dog bags, provided at every beach crossover, or with your own bags.
• Don't bury poop or throw it in the dunes or water. "Go" at home before beach time.
• Bring dogs to the beach early or late. It is less hot, less crowded.
• Dogs are not allowed in life-guarded areas, Palm Beach County Natural Areas, or Town of Jupiter parks.
• Respect any "No Dogs Allowed" signs.
• Please don't litter. If you bring it to the beach, take it home from the beach.
• It is in your interest to take this very seriously for the sake of your best friend.
• Please honor these rules. This is one of the last remaining and best beaches for you to take your dog. If humans don't respect others, dogs won't have a beach to enjoy. Enjoy and protect this treasured place.
• We are very fortunate here in Jupiter to have a town council and beach committee that support the concept of dogs on the beach. Help us preserve this privilege.
