Tequesta is a small, affluent village at the northern tip of Palm Beach County, bordering Jupiter and Martin County. Its commercial retail activity is concentrated along US-1 through the village center, Bridge Road near the Loxahatchee River, and Tequesta Drive serving neighborhood commercial. The market supports independent boutique retailers — specialty apparel, coastal home décor, artisan gift shops, wellness and beauty services, and curated food and wine shops — that benefit from Tequesta's high household income demographics and the spillover traffic from Jupiter's larger retail and dining destinations.
