Rules, as cited
Leash rule: Dogs are not required to be on-leash in the designated dog-friendly area if they are obedient and under voice command. The Town says dogs should be leashed while walking from the car to the beach. Dogs are not allowed in lifeguarded areas or on County beaches (service animals excepted).
- The Town of Jupiter defines the dog-friendly area as a 2.5-mile stretch from beach marker #26 at Marcinski Road north to beach marker #57 at the Carlin Park property line. The Town FAQ also describes this as dune walkovers 26–57, approximately between Ocean Cay Park and Carlin Park.
- Only behaved, obedient, well-socialized dogs should be brought. Because dogs are not required to be on-leash in these areas, only non-aggressive dogs that respond to voice commands are allowed, according to the Town.
- Dogs must be under control, either on a leash or near a responsible person and obediently under voice command. Owners must remove waste, and dogs must not create a nuisance. Dogs must have proper tags and licences worn visibly and show evidence of rabies vaccination.
- Obey the Town's leash laws on the way from the car to the beach. Do not go beyond the boundaries of the dog-friendly area. Dogs are not allowed on County beaches or in lifeguarded areas, except service animals as defined by the ADA.
- Palm Beach County describes the same stretch and notes free parking and restrooms and showers at nearby Ocean Cay Park and Carlin Park.
