Top Jupiter Landmarks

Blowing Rocks Preserve

A rare window into Florida’s natural history opens at this jaw-dropping spot, where plumes of saltwater shoot up to 50 feet in the air during the rough seas of high tide. Take a close look at the Anastasia limestone (this is the largest stretch of it on the Atlantic coast); you’ll see fossils, coral fragments, and shells.
