Jupiter Blowing Rocks Preserve

574 South Beach Road, Hobe Sound FL, 33455
Open daily 9am-4:30pm, except major holidays (check their website before planning a visit for closings)

Just a few miles north of the Jupiter Lighthouse sits natural gem, Jupiter Blowing Rocks Preserve.  The rocky limestone shoreline of the preserve reminds me so much of La Jolla, CA--it's absolutely beautiful and unique.
A $2 cash only admissions fee per adult (children under 12 are free) is required in order to gain access to the beach--but its completely worth it.  I recommend packing a lunch, bringing your beach chairs and water shoes, and spending the day on this quiet beach. Three hiking and walking trails are open to the public as well
Tip:  I recommend checking the tide schedules before going so that you can see what this place is really known for, the large geysers of saltwater that soar into the air during high tides and after storms.
