Per the Jupiter Inlet District's Inlet Management Plan, the District dredges sand from the inlet's sand trap on a generally annual frequency. 

The sand trap is an approximately 1,000 foot long, 300 foot wide, 8 acre basin inside the inlet which collects sand naturally migrating into the inlet system.  It is located approximately 1,000 feet west of the inlet's mouth.  Dredged sand is then bypassed to the south of the inlet to minimize impacts to adjacent shorelines.
