Loxahatchee River Sandbar (Jupiter Sandbar)

Jupiter, Florida, is a city just north of West Palm Beach; you might’ve heard about its laidback atmosphere and serene beaches. You might not know that you can find the Loxahatchee River here (near the Jupiter Inlet). The Loxahatchee River Sandbar (or Jupiter Sandbar) attracts dozens of boaters every weekend; all party lovers and snorkelers naturally congregate here.

If you are interested in snorkeling, go to the east end of the mangrove island. Families should hang out on the west side of the sandbar, where the party scene dies down. Also, show up about three hours before low tide and wait for the water to come out. The sandbar is submerged under one or two feet of water during high tide. The fine-sand sandbar is exposed at low tide, standing several feet above the water level.
