This small village, tucked along the Loxahatchee River and just north of Jupiter, offers a unique blend of laid-back charm and natural beauty that’s hard to find anywhere else. As a local, it’s easy to see why people fall in love with Tequesta.

The lifestyle here is all about the outdoors. Between paddleboarding or kayaking down the calm, mangrove-lined waters of the Loxahatchee River and enjoying sun-soaked days at nearby Jupiter Beach, there’s no shortage of ways to connect with nature.

Local spots like Gallery Grille or Tiki 52 aren’t just great places to grab a bite or a drink—they’re gathering places where friendships flourish. And if you’re into art or culture, the Lighthouse ArtCenter is a community staple with fantastic exhibits and classes that cater to all ages.

Tequesta’s charm also lies in its diversity of housing options, from waterfront estates along the Intracoastal to cozy, mid-century homes in lush, tree-lined neighborhoods. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re raising a family, enjoying retirement, or looking for a vacation home.

It’s small, yes, but that’s the beauty of it—Tequesta is a place where life moves at its own pace, where you can escape the hustle while still having access to the amenities and excitement of nearby towns like Jupiter and West Palm Beach. For those lucky enough to call it home, Tequesta isn’t just a location—it’s a lifestyle.
