Juno Beach is known for the many sea turtles that nest there each summer. Between May and October, hundreds of thousands of eggs are laid on its sandy shores. And by early fall, these turtle hatchlings will scuttle their way into the Atlantic Ocean.

Vibe. Laid-back, tail wagging fun on a serene beach with a pier. Bring your friends—and your best friend—to Juno Beach Park, an off-leash, dog-friendly beach with pristine blue waters and a pier that's perfect for fishing and watching the sunrise over the surf.

Bring the whole family—fur children included—to dog-friendly beaches like Ocean Cay Park and Jupiter Beach Park. Kids go wild for Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, where they can visit rehabilitating sea turtles just a few steps from the shore. More animal encounters await at Red Reef Park in Boca Raton.

Spanish exploration and settlement. Juno Beach is located on a barrier island along the Atlantic coastal ridge. Offshore lie Spanish wrecks dating from late 1500's to early 1600's.
