The Jewel of the Loxahatchee: Discovering Bermuda Terrace

If you spend enough time tracing the Florida coastline, you eventually learn a closely guarded secret: the most idyllic waterfront living isn’t always found behind towering gates or along crowded beachfronts. Sometimes, it’s tucked away under the shade of ancient banyans and swaying palms, sitting quietly along a riverbank.

Welcome to the Village of Tequesta and the vibrant coastal hub of Jupiter—a pocket of Northern Palm Beach County that has perfected the art of the laid-back, salt-washed lifestyle. And right in the heart of it all lies Bermuda Terrace, a boating community that remains one of the area’s best-kept secrets.

A Hometown Oasis: Inside Bermuda Terrace

Bermuda Terrace is exactly what comes to mind when you dream of Old Florida charm meeting modern coastal luxury. Situated quietly on the North Fork of the Loxahatchee River, this neighborhood is a tropical paradise that has held onto its authentic, small-town soul.

Developed largely in the 1950s and '60s, the community features sprawling, beautifully updated ranch-style homes. But the real draw here is the water access. Bermuda Terrace caters to the avid boater, offering its residents a private boat ramp, a community dock, and dry boat storage. It’s a neighborhood where evening strolls usually end at the water's edge, watching the sunset paint the Treasure Coast sky in shades of tangerine and lilac.

The Loxahatchee & Jupiter Inlet Lifestyle

Living here means the water is your playground, your commute, and your sanctuary. The Loxahatchee River—one of only two federally designated "Wild and Scenic" rivers in Florida—provides a pristine backdrop for kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkeling.

For the serious angler or offshore cruiser, the community offers seamless, deep-water access to the Jupiter Inlet. Within minutes, you can navigate your boat past the iconic, historically designated Jupiter Lighthouse and out into the Atlantic.

The local lifestyle is defined by weekend sandbar gatherings, world-class Snook fishing, and an unmatched coastal dining scene. Imagine taking your boat straight to the docks of Guanabanas for a cocktail under a lush canopy of palm and banyan trees, or heading over to the vibrant Love Street promenade to crack open cold ones and fresh oysters at Lucky Shuck. For an upscale, star-studded evening out, cruise down to the exclusive 1000 North, or dock at Harborside for an afternoon of boutique shopping and waterfront dining. And for those laid-back Sunday afternoons, locals know you simply can't beat the live music and carefree island vibes at Tequesta's own Tiki 52.

A-Rated Education for the Coastal Family

While the boating is a major draw, families are flocking to Jupiter and Tequesta for the schools. The area is served by the highly regarded School District of Palm Beach County, which consistently earns top marks.

Students in the Bermuda Terrace area have access to some of the best public education in the state, with highly rated institutions such as:

• Limestone Creek Elementary & Jupiter Elementary * Jupiter Middle School

• Jupiter High School

The presence of these A-rated schools, alongside top-tier private and charter options, provides incredible peace of mind for families wanting a vacation lifestyle without sacrificing their children's educational future.

Seamless Connectivity: Distance to PBIA

One of the most appealing aspects of Tequesta and Jupiter is the feeling of being completely tucked away from the hustle of South Florida, while remaining incredibly connected.

When it’s time to travel, Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA) is only a breezy 22-mile drive away. You can leave your driveway in Bermuda Terrace and be at the terminal in about 30 minutes. Forget the sprawling, high-stress commutes to larger airports; PBIA is renowned for its ease of use, meaning you can spend less time in transit and more time on the water.
