Date night in Jupiter: dinner, theater and sunset climbs

Last checked Oct. 9, 2026. Sources: each restaurant’s own website or its page on the Harbourside Place site, the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum and Busch Wildlife Sanctuary. This is a list, not a ranking; we link each place’s official page and do not print menu prices.

A Jupiter date night usually ends up by the water. Dinner on the Intracoastal at Harbourside Place or on the inlet, a show at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, or a climb to the top of the lighthouse at sunset: here is what each offers and when it is open.
