The Burt Reynolds and Friends Museum, which also housed the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film and Theatre (BRIFT), was located in Jupiter, Florida, the hometown of the actor Burt Reynolds (1936-2018). The museum displayed memorabilia from Reynolds' movies, and was billed as "Florida’s largest celebrity museum". It also offered filmmaking and acting classes, some taught by Reynolds himself.The museum opened in 2004, when Reynolds transferred memorabilia from his nearby home. In 2012 the museum was vacated. After it closed, there were proposals to build a new museum at nearby Burt Reynolds Park. But funds could not be raised, and Reynolds sold parts of the collection.

The Jupiter Inlet Light is located in Jupiter, Florida, on the north side of the Jupiter Inlet. The site for the lighthouse was chosen in 1853. It is located between Cape Canaveral Light and Hillsboro Inlet Light. The lighthouse was designed by then Lieutenant George G. Meade of the Bureau of Topographical Engineers. Meade's design was subsequently modified by Lieutenant William Raynolds. The Jupiter Inlet silted shut in 1854, forcing all building supplies to be shipped in light boats down the Indian River. Work was interrupted from 1856 to 1858 by the Third Seminole War. The lighthouse was completed under the supervision of Captain Edward A. Yorke in 1860 at a cost of more than $60,000.The lighthouse was built on a hill once thought to be an Indian shell mound or midden (and sometimes falsely rumored to be a burial mound), but which is now determined to be a natural parabolic sand dune. The top of the 105-foot (32 m) tower is 153 feet (47 m) above sea level. The light can be seen 24 nautical miles (44 km; 28 mi) at sea. The lighthouse structure is brick with double masonry walls. The outer wall is conical, tapering from 31.5 inches (800 mm) (eight bricks thick) at ground level to 18 inches (460 mm) (three bricks thick) at base of lantern. The inner wall is cylindrical and two bricks thick throughout. Circumference at base is about 65 feet (20 m) and at the top about 43 feet (13 m). The lighthouse was painted red in 1910 to cover discoloration caused by humidity. Hurricane Jeanne in 2004 sandblasted the paint from the upper portion of the tower, and the tower was repainted using a potassium silicate mineral coating.

The Jupiter Inlet is a natural opening through the barrier islands of Martin and Palm Beach counties in Jupiter, Florida, that connects the south end of the Indian River Lagoon and the Loxahatchee River to the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of the six primary inlets that provide exchange between the Indian River Lagoon System—a brackish estuarine complex extending along Florida’s east coast—and oceanic waters. The inlet allows tidal flow to regulate salinity levels in nearby estuaries, supports nutrient exchange, and provides a navigable waterway for marine vessels traveling between inland waters and the open sea. To the north of the inlet lies Jupiter Inlet Colony, a residential municipality situated on the southern tip of Jupiter Island. This area forms the base of the inlet's north jetty, a structure designed to control sediment and aid navigation. On the southern side, a jetty constructed of concrete and artificial rock formations helps to mitigate coastal erosion and manage longshore sand transport. Adjacent to this jetty is DuBois Park, a county-managed public recreation area, along with the contiguous sandy beachfront of Jupiter, which extends approximately 3.4 miles south along the Atlantic coastline. The inlet's northern shoreline is marked by the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and Museum, a historic navigational landmark completed in 1860. It stands atop the Jupiter Ridge, a coastal elevation formed during the Pleistocene epoch, composed primarily of consolidated sand and shell-rich coquina limestone. This ridge provided a geologically stable foundation for the lighthouse and continues to shape the area's natural and cultural landscape.

Blowing Rocks Preserve is an environmental preserve on Jupiter Island in Hobe Sound, Martin County, Florida, USA. It is owned by The Nature Conservancy. It contains the largest Anastasia limestone outcropping on the state's east coast. Breaking waves spray plumes of water through erosion holes; the spray can reach heights of 50 feet (15 m). This distinctive spectacle thus earned the limestone outcrop's name. The limestone outcropping also encompasses coquina shells, crustaceans, and sand. The preserve also features several coastal ecotones, including maritime hammocks, mangrove wetlands, and beach dunes. Common native species include sea grapes, gumbo limbo, and Sabal palms. Invasive exotic plants are removed in order to preserve indigenous flora. The preserve includes an educational center, native plant nursery, boardwalk, oceanside path, and a butterfly garden. The Hawley Education Center features rotating natural history and art exhibits, and offers environmental education classes and workshops. A boardwalk along the Indian River Lagoon contains interpretive signs about the plants, wildlife and area environment.
