Melanie, we are FINALLY coming up your way mama, and we cannot wait. Thank you for putting this gem on our radar. 🤍

This one is something else entirely.

Blowing Rocks Preserve is a 73-acre hidden treasure just south of Jupiter on Florida's Treasure Coast — and it genuinely feels like another world. We're talking a mile-long ancient rock formation right where the sand meets the sea, where at high tide the ocean shoots water up to 50 feet into the air through the rocks. Yes, you read that right.

But even if the rocks are quiet that day, the beauty of this place is absolutely everywhere — sea grape tunnels, native wildlife, fossils tucked into the shoreline, and some of the most stunning coastal views in all of Palm Beach County.

The littles are going to be wide-eyed. And honestly? So are we.

✨ What to know before you go:

• Wear comfortable shoes — the terrain is rocky and adventurous. There are walking paths!

• Beach access, if you mamas would like to take advantage

• Bring water and snacks (food is not permitted on the preserve itself — nearest picnic area is at Coral Cove Park, just a 3-minute drive south)

• Sun protection is a must — there's limited shade on the beach

• Keep an eye out for gopher tortoises, osprey, and if we're lucky — manatees in the lagoon

• Sea turtle nesting season runs March–October, so stay clear of any marked nests 🐢

Address: 574 S. Beach Road, Hobe Sound, FL 33455

The preserve has free on-site parking
