DuBois Park
Jupiter, Florida · Palm Beach County
DuBois Park centers on a calm, protected lagoon by the Jupiter Inlet, making it one of the easiest beaches in the area for small kids and first-time swimmers. Parking is free, and amenities include grills, restrooms and a playground. Lifeguard coverage is limited to the lagoon and follows a seasonal schedule, so check the flag first.
Who It's For
DuBois Park is built around a calm, protected lagoon that makes it one of the easiest spots in the area for small kids and first-time swimmers. Families come for the sheltered water, some light snorkeling near the inlet, and paddleboarding on the flat lagoon surface. Crowds run moderate and the lot fills early on weekends.
Parking & Access
The park is at 19075 DuBois Rd in Jupiter, with a free lot on site. Get there early on weekends, since the lot fills fast once the lagoon area gets busy.
Rules & Safety
Lifeguard coverage here is limited to the lagoon swim area, and the schedule changes with the school calendar: guards are on daily during summer recess, then weekends only once school is back in session, and you should only swim when the safety flag is flying. Boat traffic moves through the lagoon and currents pick up near the inlet, so keep young kids close and stay inside the guarded area. Dogs are not allowed at DuBois Park.
What's There
Restrooms, showers, grills and picnic tables sit near the lagoon, along with a playground for the kids. The historic DuBois Pioneer Home, listed on the National Register, sits inside the park and is worth a short walk if you want a break from the water.
Before You Go
Island Water Sports - Delray Beach is about 33.3 miles from DuBois Park, worth the stop when you're in our area for swim gear, sun protection and lessons for the kids.
