West Palm Beach to Jupiter FL drive: Best stops, distance & time

Finding the best things to do between West Palm Beach and Jupiter FL

The West Palm Beach to Jupiter FL drive takes you along an attractive part of Florida’s Atlantic coast.

Notoriously wealthy West Palm Beach goes big on art. The Norton Museum of Art and Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens are the big hitters, but there are plenty of smaller galleries. Arguably the top attraction is in Palm Beach, however. Here, the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum marries Gilded Age grandeur with Florida history.

Bookable West Palm Beach experiences include snorkelling tours, sunset cruises and photoshoots on Worth Avenue. You can also try jet snorkelling, parasailing and food-tasting market tours.

For West Palm Beach accommodation with superb guest ratings, the Pioneer Inn is excellent value and the Ben brings five star opulence.

Jupiter Beach on the Atlantic Ocean is the primary attraction of Jupiter FL, but there are a couple of other interesting spots. Du Bois Park offers a snorkelling lagoon, a playground and picnic tables.

Near the I-95, the Loxahatchee River Battlefield Park commemorates the battles of the Loxahatchee in the Second Seminole War.

Fun activities in Jupiter FL include clear kayak tours, sunset cruises and guided paddleboarding adventures.

West Palm Beach to Jupiter road trip attractions: Riviera Beach

West Palm Beach to Jupiter drive: John D Macarthur Beach State Park

In contrast to much of what surrounds it, John D Macarthur Beach State Park in North Palm Beach is blissfully undeveloped. The environment is a mixture of coastal hammock and mangroves, and it proves a haven for birds. Brown pelicans, herons and sandpipers are often spotted here. The beach is great for swimming and, if conditions are right, not bad for surfing.

Best stops between West Palm Beach and Jupiter FL: Juno Beach FL

Juno Beach has a beach pier that pulls in keen fishermen, plus the Juno Beach Park, which has picnic shelters. But the stars of this Florida beach aren’t the sunbathers – they’re the loggerhead turtles, which nest here in abundant numbers. The Loggerhead Marine Center hosts a hospital which nurses injured turtles, plus exhibits that help guests learn more about the local marine life.
