Local Fun
Jupiter Lighthouse Park
Best view in Jupiter! Make sure to visit the giant Banyan Tree before you climb the lighthouse.
Loggerhead Marinelife Center
Where Hannah works, if you somehow didn't know that.... free admission (suggested $5 donation/person) and learn about one of our favorite marine animals.
The Nature Conservancy Blowing Rocks Preserve
B-E-A-UTIFUL at sunrise! Try to catch it at high-tide for the best "blows!"
MacArthur Beach Nature Center
LOVE THIS PARK!! Nominal entrance fee and beautiful boardwalk. You can't reserve kayaks in advance, so get there early! If you're not a kayaker, still a great place to walk; long boardwalk goes across the Lake Worth Lagoon to the beach.
Riverbend Park
Awesome area for a day hike around the park and great paddle area for kayaking!
Busch Wildlife Sanctuary
Admission-free (donation suggested) wildlife rescue with birds of prey, panthers, bears, gators, etc. Worth the visit, especially with kiddos.
Peanut Island Park
~$20/person for a ferry to Peanut Island, but it's a great little day trip to play in the water and relax on the beach. Lots of shady areas and plenty of beach space to set-up yourself and/or family. BYO snacks/cooler of drinks, (no vendor on the island). Ferry ride is ~10 minutes from the Riviera Beach Marina. They don't technically allow alcohol, but that is a dumb rule, so just be smart about it and bury it in a cooler.
DuBois Park
This is a great day spot for families with kiddos! Great, protected park with salt water lagoons and lifeguards.
Jonathan Dickinson State Park
Wide open space and beautiful section of Florida's iconic coastal scrub and pine flatwoods ecosystems. Hiking trails are not for anyone who doesn't like walking in soft sand, but for a leisurely visit, you can drive through the park to the observation tower which gives a 360* view of the park. Gopher tortoises, gators, bunnies, deer, and all kinds of birds (including the endemic scrub jay) can all be spotted here! Great park for biking and kayaking, too (there are rentals).
Captain Charlie's Reef Grill
Hidden gem for great local seafood in Jupiter with a fresh daily menu, one of our favorites!
Dune Dog Cafe
Local legend/institution. Best damn hotdogs, vibes and crunchy fish sandwich. Wait can get long, especially on weekends and they don't take reservations... but we recommend anyway!! Cheap and Insta-worthy. You'll want to get a t-shirt (trust us)!
DINA'S VEGAN DELI & DESSERTS
Hidden gem for a BOMB vegan lunch. Very lowkey/no fluff. Local black-owned business to support, too!
Square Grouper Tiki Bar Jupiter Inlet
THE spot for drinks and music in Jupiter (don't let people tell you Guanabanas is better). Super weird, almost cougar, vibe, but can't beat the view. This is 21+ ONLY and they do check eeeeveryone's ID, so be prepared. This is probably where we'll take the Rehearsal Dinner after party if we're not exhausted! They do serve food; not great but the fish drip and loaded nachos are on point.
Beacon
High-end, newer restaurant in Jupiter, minutes from venue. Great food for a price, but also a great view. Great date night option if you packed some extra fancy clothes!!
Tequesta Brewing Co
One of Hannah's all time favs. We'll be serving Chancellor at the wedding! It gets packed and it's a small place, but usually has live music on the weekend nights.
Twisted Trunk Brewing
Sister brewery to TBC, but slightly more bougie with a business happy hour crowd. HOWEVER, literally the best Irish Red you'll ever have (Finn McCool). More space for a bigger group than TBC!
O'Sheas Irish Pub
Forever Hannah's favorite Irish pub. Great back patio, usually live music, pool, darts, string lights outside. Gets to be THE hottest mess if you go too late.... sweet spot is 6pm - 10pm (damn we sound old). Fun fact: We had one of our most memorable dates here, after Hannah took Lee to a seance accidentally, thinking it was a magic show.
DAS Beer Garden
Great Yerman pub with #allthepretzels.
Red Light Palm Beach
Fun speakeasy a bit off the beaten path in West Palm Beach. With Reservations, they send you the actual address. Live music nightly and a super shmexy vibe.
Harbourside Place
Bougie shops on the Loxahatchee River and good vibes. Amphitheater sometimes has free shows scheduled and Tiger Woods' restaurant "The Woods" is here!
