Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Hobe Sound National Wildlife Preserve is a gorgeous natural refuge on Jupiter Island, originally established in 1969 on a 1,035-acre tract of land near the Indian River Lagoon. The preserve is split into two sections, including the 735-acre Jupiter Island tract, which is home to some of the nation's most popular sea turtle nesting habitats, and the 300-acre sand pine scrub mainland tract, which protects one of the state's few remaining sensitive sand pine scrub habitats. Visitors can view populations of endangered green sea and loggerhead turtles throughout the year or explore nature exhibits at the Hobe Sound Nature Center, which presents environmental education programming for visitors of all ages. The 173-acre Reed Wilderness Seashore Sanctuary is also located within the preserve, designated as a National Natural Landmark.
