Climb the 1860 red-brick lighthouse for panoramic views over the inlet and Loxahatchee River.

The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse is the area's most recognizable landmark — a 108-foot red-brick tower first lit in 1860. Climb the 105-step spiral staircase for panoramic views of the inlet, the Loxahatchee River, and the Atlantic, then explore the museum and the historic grounds along the waterfront. Admission runs about $15 for adults, $12 for seniors 60+ and veterans, and $8 for kids 6–18 (5 and under free), and supports the nonprofit that maintains the site.
