Tequesta's natural beauty and serenity of the river to the deep blue ocean, tempts people in search of a pleasant friendly environment.
This village has a unique history around its founding. In 1955 a bridge tender was asked by Charles Martyn to describe the area that is now the Village of Tequesta. His reply was, "It's just a jungle". Inspired by the remarks, Martyn asked for a tour of the area. As the two men traveled the Inlet and intracoastal waterways by boat, Martyn was immediately intrigued by the natural beauty and potential of the area. He bought 86 acres on Jupiter Island where he developed the Jupiter Inlet Colony. While excavating the site, Martyn's crew unearthed an Indian mound filled with artifacts. Martyn's interest in Indian history led him to research the mound's contents. Later speculation was that the mound belonged to an encampment of Tequesta Indians encroaching on the native Jega Indians. Martyn was convinced of this and named an area he was developing west of the intracoastal after the Tequesta tribe. That development, now know as the Tequesta Country Club, was later incorporated as the Village of Tequesta.
Tequesta started as one man's vision and now has become a thriving village with miles of luxury waterfront property in a pristine environment. The town of Tequesta offers a wide mixture of family residential neighborhoods, condominiums and upscale waterfront homes. The Jupiter /Tequesta /Juno Beach area offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the year round mild weather and outdoor recreation. Area parks provide a wide range of services and facilities for outdoor activities, whether it's relaxing on white sandy beaches, playing softball or baseball at one of the many lighted diamonds, enjoying tennis or golf or taking a scenic hike on one of the nearby nature trails. Surrounded by water, visitors to Tequesta enjoy diving in crystal clear waters, fishing, boating, swimming, water-skiing, sailing on a catamaran or paddling through a cypress forest. The Gulf Stream flows closest to the U.S. off the shores of Tequesta, and with its warm current, brings some of the best sport fishing in the world to the area. This region has endless opportunities for sightseeing, such as historic homesteads, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, art galleries, arts and crafts fairs, quaint shops and boutiques and regional shopping malls. Plus, the town of Tequesta is just 17 miles from the nightlife at West Palm Beach, Florida.
