A free 2.5-mile off-leash dog beach — a quintessential Jupiter local ritual.
Jupiter's off-leash dog beach is a beloved local tradition: a free, roughly 2.5-mile stretch of sand between dune crossover markers #26 and #57, north of Ocean Cay Park, where dogs run in the surf from sunrise to sunset. Mornings bring a friendly crowd of regulars and happy dogs. Dogs must be under voice control (or leashed) and wear current tags with rabies vaccination; owners clean up after them. Bring water, bags, and a towel.
One of the most-loved free things to do in Jupiter.
