Blowing Rocks Preserve, Nature reserve on Jupiter Island, Florida.
The limestone shoreline extends for one mile, featuring geological formations that create water spouts reaching heights of 50 feet during high tide.
Local residents transferred 73 acres of coastal land to The Nature Conservancy in 1969, establishing a protected area for native flora and fauna.
The Hawley Education Center hosts environmental workshops, guided tours, and educational programs focused on coastal conservation and marine ecosystems.
Visitors can access the preserve daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with dedicated paths leading to swimming areas and observation points along the shore.
The preserve houses over 250 native plant species and serves as a nesting ground for loggerhead, green, and leatherback sea turtles from March through October.
