Juno Beach

If you blink you could miss one of the most charming communities in the State of Florida. Although limited in size, Juno Beach is well recognized as a very private community based on traditional family values, rules, and respect for one another and nature.

The Town of Juno Beach was incorporated in 1953 and is located approximately 14 miles north of West Palm Beach, which is the county seat of Palm Beach County. Juno Beach is a seasonal, residential community with a permanent population of 3,656, since 2000 the population has increased 12%. The Town encompasses an area of 2.65 square miles. This special and unique Town is an island with the Intracoastal Waterway to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Jupiter Inlet to the north and Palm Beach Inlet to the south. Approximately 594 acres of land or 43% of the Town’s total land area has been purchased by the County for preservation. The County has installed trails throughout these parcels to serve as a beautiful nature walk and to educate the public about the importance of preservation.

The Town has many special features that contribute to this wonderful place to live, recreate and visit. The Town has 2.4 miles of wonderful beaches along a spectacular blue ocean. Eleven (eight Town owned) dune walkovers provide beach access for the public that include a variety of structures, showers, parking, gazebo and chickee huts among other amenities. A main attraction is the 990-foot pier at the northern edge of town. It is visited and enjoyed by sightseers and fishermen from all over.

The Town’s coastline is one of the highest density nesting areas for sea turtles in the world. The Loggerhead Marinelife Center, a not-for-profit organization, monitors the nests and is dedicated to promoting the conservation of Florida’s coastal ecosystem through education, research and rehabilitation with a special focus on threatened and endangered sea turtles. The LMC is located in Loggerhead Park.

Loggerhead Park has covered picnic areas and a playground and houses the Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Juno Beach Park, at the northern edge of Town, serves as a large parking lot for beach goers and the County owned and operated pier. South of Pelican Lake the Town owns and operates Kagan Park, which has playground equipment, bocci, basketball, and adult exercise stations.

The “Friends of the Arts” organizes art shows for local artists; artwork is displayed year round in the Town Center Council Chambers. “Artfest by the Sea,” which draws some 30,000 visitors is held along A1A and the Ocean at the north end of Town.
