Hobe Sound is a coastal suburb on the north side of Jupiter, about halfway between West Palm Beach and Port Saint Lucie. The legendary scenic routes A1A and U.S. 1 both pass through town, giving generations of travelers a glimpse of the charming small town that a lucky few call their home.
Hobe Sound Beach is just a short drive from anywhere in town, and direct access to the Indian River makes it easy for boaters and fishermen to reach the ocean from the canals and waterways within the community. Apart from the beach, the area surrounding Hobe Sound is home to some of Florida’s most stunning natural wonders, particularly within the enormous Jonathan Dickson State Park on the south side.
