MANGROVES, SHMANGROVES — WHAT’S SO COOL ABOUT THEM?

Like a green curtain, lush mangroves crowd the shore along Jupiter Inlet’s waterways.

But these plants do far more than block the view of the land.

• The cigar-shaped mangrove seeds may float for more than a year before taking root in the sand.
• Mangroves are tough. Like cactus, they hoard fresh water in their leaves to survive in dry times.
• Mangroves defend of our shorelines. The thick roots hold the land in place during hurricanes. They reduce erosion
• Mangroves promote coral reefs. Young corals grow in the mangrove roots
• Mangroves support Florida’s recreational fishing. Barracuda, tarpon, snook and other juvenile fish shelter among mangrove roots. As adults, they head out into the open ocean
• Mangroves boost water quality. They absorb nutrients from runoff that might otherwise cause harmful algal blooms offshore, such as the killing off of seagrass in the Indian River.

SIP IN SUMMERTIME 

As you paddle by the historic lighthouse on your Boat Tours in Jupiter adventure, impress your companions with these Lighthouse facts:

• First lit July 10, 1860
• The Lighthouse is 156 feet high
• There are 105 steps to the top of the lighthouse
• On a clear night, the lighthouse can be seen on ships from about 25 miles out sea

LIGHTHOUSE PROMENADE: JUPITER’S WATERFRONT JEWEL

Refresh with a stroll down Love Street Promenade after you come ashore on the Pon-Tiki.

Enjoy swaying palm trees, diving pelicans, paddle boarders skimming across the clear Jupiter Inlet waters, the bright red lighthouse against the blue sky and manatees and sea turtles coming up for a gulp of air.

If you want a little history, check out the DuBois Pioneer Home at nearby DuBois Park.

Check out the history of shipwrecks off Jupiter at the anchor statue at the foot of the jetty at DuBois Park.

Like railroads? Learn about the Celestial Railroad, which had space-age stopping points at Jupiter, Venue and Mars during it’s short life in the 1890s. There’s a plaque in front of Guanabana’s restaurant.
