SP, Jupiter, FL: Late
morning we drove over to the Blowing Rock Preserve on Jupiter Island. This is
one of the things I love about Jupiter Island. Even though this is home to the mega rich and multi-million-dollar mansions abound, there is still a lot of
undeveloped land. Blowing Rock Preserve is one example. The beach here is
unique because there are these rocky outcroppings near the water—part of a
strand of Anastasia limestone. We walked a little trail that used to be A1A and
then returned via the beach. I got my shoes wet and full of sand. A beautiful
day for this little sojourn. Drove out the Hobe Sound entrance and had lunch at
Scooters again. Back to our site and sat outside reading for a while. Burt
Reynolds lives just across the road from the entrance to this park. All you can
see is the gate and a drive which disappears into the foliage. His house is on
the water, which is part of the intercostal. Upper 70s today with a pretty good
breeze.

Beautiful man, beautiful picture! |

The beach looking north. No sign of human habitation...no high-rise condos, no homes visible at all. Love it!

Love the sea grape! |
