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 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.
