Taking a cue from its Native American heritage, Hobe Sound continues to be one of the most environmentally-conscious towns in the state of Florida. Designated areas like Jupiter Island prohibit commercial development and limit residential growth. In fact, the island is protected by the Audubon Society, Nature Conservancy, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Hobe Sound also has numerous parks, many of which showcase the area’s organic beauty and peaceful charm. One such park is Jonathan Dickinson State Park, a riverfront campground that features an equestrian facility, canoeing and kayaking, hiking trails, bicycle paths, fishing holes, snorkeling spots, playground, boat tours, geocaching, waymarking, letterboxing, and more. Other popular parks include William “Doc” Myers Park, Zeus Park, Greenfield Park, and Blowing Rocks Preserve, a restored barrier island protected by the U.S. Nature Conservancy.
Apart from outdoor water recreation and championship golf, residents of Hobe Sound enjoy visiting the Hobe Sound Nature Center and Wildlife Refuge, the Jupiter Lighthouse and Museum, and Harbourside Place in Jupiter, an open-air venue anchored by the Wyndham Grand Hotel. A relatively new complex, Harbourside Place boasts high-end retail shops, remarkable restaurants, boat docks, and an outdoor amphitheater.
