Blowing Rocks Preserve

This park is one of the most unique shorelines in the entire state of Florida. When you think of Florida, you probably don’t immediately think of cliffs and rock coast lines, but Blowing Rocks Preserve is somewhat of an exception. This particular section of the Florida coast is home to some hard coral rock formations, and if you time your visit just right, these rocks basically serve as coastal geysers blasting ocean water through the air.

Make sure to go at high tide or on a day when there are choppy conditions to get the best effect. The rocks have some gaps, holes, and cervices in them which create pathways for the water waves to blast into the air. It’s even cooler to experience than it is to explain, so you’ll just have to take my word for it and add it to your Florida bucket list!

Jonathan Dickinson State Park

This is, perhaps, one of the most interesting state parks in all of Florida. This park is names of Jonathan Dickinson, a Quaker Merchant, who, along with his crew and family, were shipwrecked off the coast of Florida in the area which has later become Hobe Sound. He recorded his journeys and experiences in a journal and much about his life and experiences throughout this area are very interesting to read.

The park, however, is interesting because the plant life is quite unique compared to the rest of Florida. Much of the plant life resembles that of an arid, desert climate as opposed to the typical tropical and subtropical vegetation one would expect.

Be sure to hike to the top of the observation tower on “Hobe Mountain” and ride your bicycle along the various trails. There are also boat tours, kayak rentals, a playground, an education center, and more.

Harry and the Natives

Harry and the Natives is probably one of our absolute favorite restaurants to visit on the entire Treasure Coast. It has an iconic local, coastal Florida vibe! Along with some crazy, novelty furnishings inside, there’s also semi-outdoor seating in what feels like a giant tiki hut, on section of which is actually a nice sandy place.

The food is typical of a good, local lunch dive or a diner–various kinds of sandwiches, etc.

Think Florida. Think fun. That’s Harry and the Natives.


The Beach

The Hobe Sound Beach is actually quite beautiful. Think miles and miles of unspoiled, pristine Florida coast line, and THAT is the Hobe Sound Beach. Additionally, one of our favorite things is driving past all the unbelievable homes located up and down the island on the way to an enjoyable, relaxing, pleasant day enjoying the sand, waves, and sunshine!

Conclusion

If you’re looking for a pleasant, quiet, relaxing Florida get away. Hobe Sound is where it’s at!
