The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has launched a new "Coastal Access Guide." The website features comprehensive data on public coastal access points along the coast (primarily sandy beaches) around the entire state of Florida. The interactive map allows users to zoom into each point to see an aerial image. Visit the new Coast Access Guide by clicking the link below.

JIC Leash Law Ordinance
JIC Ordinance 09-2014 is viewable by clicking HERE.
February, 2015, JIC Ordinance 09-2014 was passed by the voters of Jupiter Inlet Colony with 72% voting "yes." All dogs must be on leash anywhere in Town except the beach and Ordinance 09-2014 specifically addresses our leash law while on the beach. JIC Town Ordinances also require a handler to pick up their dog's feces or the handler is subject to a fine. Please see the "Good Dog Credo" below that has been submitted by the JIC Good Dog Club.
JIC Rules and Etiquette for Dogs in Town and on Beach
JIC has long been a dog-friendly town. To keep it so, the JIC Good Dog Club asks residents, renters and visitors who walk in Town or on the beach with their dogs to abide by the Good Dog Credo:
- All dogs must be on a leash in Town unless on the owner’s property.
- JIC Ordinance 09-2014 states that dogs are allowed “off leash at the public beach area so long as the dog is sufficiently near its handler to be under his or her control and to be obedient to his or her handler’s commands.” (See full text of ordinance at by clicking the link above).
- In Town or on the beach, proceed with caution around new dogs, keeping dogs on a leash until all appear comfortable.
- In Town or on the beach, do not allow dogs to approach strangers or children unless invited.
- Make sure dog feces are picked up and disposed of properly.
- If you see something, say something! A standard practice in dog parks the world over is to alert owners of behavior or a “deposit” they fail to notice. Encourage communication!
To keep JIC dog friendly, please help promote the highest standards of dog-owner etiquette and good canine citizenship!
