Jupiter
Many people who did not know where Jupiter, Florida was last month certainly know where it is now thanks to the owner of the New England Patriots football team. I am here to redirect your attention from Jupiters’ dark underbelly to the highest and brightest of sites in Jupiter…the Jupiter Lighthouse and the nearby Loggerhead Marine Life Center in Juno Beach. If you happen to be in town please stop by these local treasures. The entry fees are minimal/free (although they do appreciate donations). Also, noted below are a few drinking establishments, because you know we get thirsty!
Jupiter Lighthouse designed by George Meade and first used in 1860 www.jupiterlighthouse.org

Calaveras Cantina has an amazing selection of fairly priced tequilas, a great happy hour & fabulous decor…plus, you can take your boat/tender to the restaurant! www.calaverascantinas.com
Tequesta Brew Co. offers a great selection of handcrafted ales, my favorite is Der Chancellor www.tequestabrewing.com
From the outside you would never guess there is this cool bar inside
Close to the Jupiter Lighthouse is Guanabanas with tons of outdoor seating and music too. Larry, Kappy and Mark Reed and myself. www.guanabanas.com
