Your Ultimate Guide to the Jupiter Sandbar and the Perfect Boat to Get You There

If you've spent any time on the water around Jupiter, Florida, you already know about the sandbar. And if you haven't been yet — this is your sign. 
The Jupiter Sandbar, located in the Intracoastal Waterway near the iconic Jupiter Inlet, is one of South Florida's most coveted on-the-water destinations. Shallow, stunning, and accessible only by boat, it's the kind of place that turns a regular weekend into a memory you'll be talking about all summer long. 
And the best part?
InterMarine Jupiter is right here on the water, just steps from the action, ready to put you in the perfect boat to make it happen. 

What Is the Jupiter Sandbar? 

The Jupiter Sandbar is a natural shallow-water gathering spot in the Intracoastal Waterway, near the Loxahatchee River and Jupiter Inlet. When the tide rolls out, it reveals a stunning expanse of sand surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise water — the kind of scene that looks like it belongs in the Bahamas, not 15 minutes from your backyard. 
Boaters anchor side by side, music plays, floats go overboard, and what forms is nothing short of a floating community. It's relaxed, it's social, and it's uniquely Florida. 
Can't drive there. Can't walk there. You need a boat — which is exactly why we're here. 

What to Expect When You Arrive 

Crystal-Clear, Wading-Depth Water

The sandbar is shallow enough to stand in and clear enough to see straight to the bottom. It's ideal for swimming, wading, paddleboarding, and letting the kids run loose in a few inches of warm Florida water. On a sunny day, those turquoise hues look almost impossibly beautiful.

A Vibe for Every Mood

Weekends at the sandbar are festive — music, laughter, dozens of boats anchored together, people floating between them with drinks in hand. If that's your scene, come on a Saturday and make a full day of it. If you prefer something quieter, weekday mornings offer the same gorgeous setting with a fraction of the crowd. Either way, you win.

Activities for Everyone

-Swimmers and snorkelers can explore the shallow waterway and spot marine life up close
-Paddleboarders and kayakers love the calm, clear conditions
-Families with kids get a safe, shallow play area that's hard to beat
-Social boaters anchor up, meet their neighbors, and enjoy that one-of-a-kind sandbar energy 

 

There's No Better Summer Than a Summer on the Water

Let's be honest, nothing compares to a Florida summer spent out on the water. The Jupiter Sandbar is just one reason why. Between the Intracoastal, the Inlet, the Atlantic, and the Loxahatchee River, Jupiter boaters have endless places to explore, and InterMarine Jupiter is your starting point for all of it. 
We're located at 19157 SE Federal Highway, Jupiter, FL, right here in your backyard, with a full lineup of boats ready to get you out there.
