These are the months to come out on any Thursday evening to enjoy the most unique creations of locals from around the area. Art including: blown glass, wooden sculptures and pottery, silver and gold jewelry all grace the waterfront location!  On Thursday evenings at the Sailfish Marina, www.sailfishmarina.com, you will find musicians, like Clark Rodriguez, signing and playing his guitar.  You’ll hear sounds of your favorite Jimmy Buffet inspired tunes or steel drums playing on the boardwalk as the sun sets colorfully in the western sky. You will also see lazy pelicans bobbing around in the water hopping to catch a scrap of fish food some amber jacks were too slow to scoop up.

In this tropical locale, on Singer Island, people come from all over to browse the 35 artists that come from as far away as Seattle, WA to exhibit their craftsmanship and artistry.  The Sailfish Marina Resort offers a classic South Florida setting of fresh seafood restaurant and yachting marina.  The restaurant faces Peanut Island on the Intracoastal Waterway and just south of the resort is the Lake Worth inlet.  There is plenty of seating area inside, as well as outside; to watch all the boats cruise by.  There is not a bad seat in the house.  If a sit down dining experience isn’t in the plan for the night, the restaurant sets up a stand along the waterfront selling their famous “Grouper Dogs” and delicious Conch Fritters! It’s the perfect place for a casual tropical night reminiscent of Old Key West.

Stroll the docks, take in the art, enjoy the music and you’ll be sure to find treasure here.  Whether you buy some art or just browse, stop by on any Thursday evening at sunset.  Bring the family, even the family pet on a leash is welcome and don’t forget to feed the fish off the docks!

Fishing in Florida, Some of the Best in the World!

April 3, 2013 by Leave a Comment

South FloridaSome of the world’s best fishing can be found off the coast of South Florida. You can fish for what seems like a limitless amount of fish and other sea creatures right out of the Jupiter Inlet. Whether it be fishing the Loxahatchee River or off shore almost to the Bahamas, there is an endless amount of fishing to be done.

The local fishing reports have shown a number of different fish biting in the past few weeks. If you head out in the early morning you have a good chance of catching some Dorado or King Fish as well as a Sailfish here or there. Whenever you are attempting to catch a tasty Mahi Mahi or something worth bragging rights like a Sailfish, it is almost guaranteed that you will lose some bait to the Bonitos.

If off shore and deep sea fishing don’t fit your taste a great alternative is reef fishing. Off of Jupiter Island and Palm Beach Island are some beautiful reefs with bountiful varieties of fish like Mutton Snapper, Yellow Tail Snapper, Groupers and other marine life like lobsters.

Get all of your bait and tackle needs from a local fishing hot spot such as Grand Slam, 866-59-CATCH.

Make the Climb! See Jupiter from a New Pair of Eyes!

March 28, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Ocean_Harbour_3

One of the most famous, iconic symbols of our seaside town, Jupiter, is the Jupiter Lighthouse. If you have yet to climb the steps of the Lighthouse add it to your list!

The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse has been a standing landmark since 1860. There is a waterfront museum that is features several buildings showcasing stories of old Florida. These stories focus on over 5,000 years of human habitation in and around the Jupiter Inlet and the Loxahatchee River. Your tour will begin in the newly built (2012) Museum Gifts and Sweet Shop. You will walk along a brick-lined path to the several exhibits including a restored WWII Navy Building, an 1892 Tindall Pioneer Homestead Exhibit and a 100 year old Pennock Plantation Bell. Then you will get to climb the 105 steps leading to the top of the 108-foot tall lighthouse.

Take it from me, I have done this tour several times, it is a must do! Once you arrive at the top you will see Jupiter from a birds eye. You can see for miles, the beautiful twists and turns of the Loxahatchee River, up the beach to Jupiter Island and down it to Palm Beach.

There is a bevy of information to be given and a number of different tours. You can climb the “Moon Rise Tour” in the evening to watch the moon rise into the night sky or even take a “Blue Moon Tour” at night to witness some of summer’s most magnificent full moons. The “Chickee Chats Tours’ are for the kids, where they can enjoy story time and craft underneath the Banyan trees. A “Sunset Tour” is always a romantic and unique way to surprise your loved one. The grounds are also available for reservation to host a party or a wedding. The beach is open to those who would like to picnic and enjoy the water. For more information about the tours and events held at the Jupiter Lighthouse and Museum, please visit www.jupiterlighthouse.org.

Tee Times For This Weekend’s Shell Houston Open

March 27, 2013 by Leave a Comment

The Florida swing has come to an end and the PGA tour moves to Texas for the next two weeks before the Masters. This weekend’s Shell Houston Open will be held at Redstone Golf Club in Humble, Texas and will feature some of the top local golfers on the tour. Here is a look at the local golfers competing and their tee times for Thursday and Friday.

Lee Westwood and Louis Oosthuzien (8am on tee 1 Thursday and 1pm on tee 10 Friday)- The two are neighbors in Old Palm and will look to continue to improve as they prepare for the Masters in a few weeks. Westwood’s best at this event was a tie for eighth in 2010 while Oosthuzien has been climbing up the World Rankings in recent weeks and is ranked sixth in the world going into the weekend.

Golf2-1Rory Mcllroy, Dustin Johnson, Keegan Bradley (12:50pm on tee 1 Thursday and 7:50am on tee 10 Friday)- This start studded threesome features not only some of the best golfers in our area but some of the top golfers in the world. Keegan Bradley (Tequesta) is coming off a third place finish last week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and has three top five finishes in his last nine events. He finished fourth in this event last year and will look to get his first win of the season. Rory Mcllroy dropped to number two in the World Golf Ranking with Tiger’s win on Monday, but that is not phasing the Palm Beach Gardens resident. He took last week off but got plenty of practice at a local municipal course in Miami and is coming off a final round 65 at Doral. Dustin Johnson last played this event in 2009 and missed the cut. The Loxahatchee River resident took last week off just like Mcllroy and is coming off a 12th place finish at Doral.

Phil Mickelson, Hunter Mahan, Geoff Ogilvy (7:50am on tee 10 Thursday and 12:50 on tee 1 on Friday)- While none of the three are local residents, this threesome puts the last two winners of the this tournament together. Mahan is the defending champion and Mickelson won in 2011. Both will try and improve off their finishes at The Arnold Palmer Invitational. Mahan finished in a tie for 21st while Mickelson missed the cut.
