Hobe Sound is the southernmost surf spot not blocked by the Bahamas to the east, giving it a unique swell window. Located within the Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge on Jupiter Island, it fronts 3.5 miles of undeveloped beach — the most wild and secluded in South Florida. Mostly left-hand breaks link up and continue down the beach. One of the most productive sea turtle nesting areas in the Southeast.
