THINGS TO DO IN JUPITER!

LEARN & PADDLE

Sea turtles, deep diving, elegant reptiles that waddle to shore to lay their eggs, have a home at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, a popular Things To Do in Jupiter activity.

Known world-wide, Loggerhead’s veterinarians provide care for turtles injured by fish hooks, nets and boats. The sea turtles recuperate in salt-water tanks. The release of recovered sea turtles on the beach is a popular event where hundreds of locals cheer as the recovered sea turtle swims back home.

Sea turtle fact: Most sea turtles nest at night—Kemp’s ridleys turtles are the only sea turtles that routinely nest during the day.

After your turtle lesson, take a paddle on the clear waters of the Jupiter Inlet Waterways. You’re likely to see many turtles like the ones at Loggerhead.

Never paddled?

Jupiter Outdoor Center guides are happy to show you how. It’s easy and fun!
