Juno Beach is a quiet coastal town, only two square miles in size and with a population of approximately 3,000. It is located in Palm Beach County, north of the city of Palm Beach, tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Approximately 43 percent of the land in Juno Beach is either County parkland or environmentally protected natural areas.

The town is home to the Marinelife Center, a nonprofit organization run solely by volunteers. Children enjoy the saltwater “touch” tanks and have a chance to meet many offshore creatures at the center. From May through September, guides from the Marinelife Center take visitors on turtle watching tours to watch the creatures that return to lay their eggs. Visitors are also encouraged to walk the center’s sand dune nature trails, all of which are marked with interpretive signs. Loggerhead Park, which straddles U.S. Highway 1 in Juno Beach, has an observation tower you can climb for some spectacular coastal views.

The park also has a play area, picnic areas, bike path and free parking. This part of northern Palm Beach County is known for its beautiful beaches. The further north you head from the populated Palm Beach, the more peaceful and pristine the coast becomes. The beaches surrounding Juno Beach are clean, easy accessible and great for all types of activities such as swimming, sunning, scuba diving, snorkeling, boating, fishing and hiking.
