Blowing Rocks Preserve, located in Hobe Sound, Florida, is a renowned sanctuary and model for large-scale native coastal habitat restoration. Managed by The Nature Conservancy (TNC), this 73-acre barrier island is home to a variety of endangered plants and animals, including rare loggerhead, green, and leatherback sea turtles.

Named for its rocky Anastasia limestone shoreline, Blowing Rocks Preserve offers visitors the chance to witness impressive plumes of saltwater shooting up to 50 feet in the air during high tide. With three hiking trails and opportunities for swimming and snorkeling, the preserve provides a peaceful retreat for nature enthusiasts to observe rare birds, plants, and wildlife in their natural habitat.
