The Nature Conservancy works tirelessly to protect this fascinating wonder for all to enjoy for many years to come. While many of the eco-systems are disappearing in Florida, this peaceful barrier island is focusing on native coastal habitat restoration.

Blowing Rocks Preserve was founded in 1969 when a generous resident of the island donated more than 70 acres of their own land to the Conservancy.

The preserve runs about a mile in length, north to south, all the way from the Atlantic to the Indian River Lagoon.

Due to the relentless restoration, the preserve now looks like one of the many barrier islands of South Florida that were around nearly a century ago.

Visiting the preserve is sure to be a delight, as you can explore the rocky Anastasia limestone shoreline, which is the largest on the Atlantic coast.

When the hide tides come in with force on some days, you can watch the seas break and spray against the rocks, sometimes upwards of 50-feet into the air!

What’s even more unique about this protected space is that rare loggerhead, leatherback, and green turtles call it home, oftentimes laying their eggs right on the beach in the sand.
