Lighting the Way Home

Did you know that located on the northern bank of the Loxahatchee River sits Lighthouse Park, home to the most notable landmark in the city, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse? This historic spot has been a Jupiter staple since the late 1800's when the land was occupied by its settlers.
