Blowing Rocks Preserve

Day Trips in Miami

"About 90 minutes north of Miami you’ll find one of the most unique geological features of the area at Blowing Rocks Preserve. Though parking can be difficult, this beach preserve in Hobe Sound is home to a rocky Anastasia limestone shoreline — the Atlantic’s largest — eroded by years of fierce winds off the Atlantic Ocean. Though the wind doesn’t make it the ideal place to go for a hard day of tanning, you will find loggerhead, green, and leatherback sea turtles along the shore. And if you head here during high tide or during a storm, you can see waves crashing into the rocks with water shooting upward of 50 feet into the air." - MATADOR_NETWORK
