We go here ever so often as the staff is friendly, they have a lot of different natvie species to look at and touch and it's great to talk to the staff and be educated. The trails are awesome and it's even fun to go to the little beach...

We all go here atleast 3x weekly. It is a great little place down on the intercoastal to take the dog, walk along the shoreline, fish, or just bring a cooler and chairs and watch the big boats go by. My little secret getaway.

Although it costs $5 to park, this is one of the nicest beaches near Hobe Sound. Take a picnic lunch and enjoy this beautiful stretch of sand.

Love the Refuge! The musuem is so interesting and than you get to go for the hike either into the woods or down to the intercoastal. Great place to bring visitors to see the unspoiled part of Hobe Sound.

You can hike a small trail along the Intracoastal Waterway and bring your dogs for a game of fetch along the water. Little wildlife museum is very informative.
