Go visit the MyWorld site to see more of our world – or even better, participate yourself!
Today’s MyWorld shows a place that is pretty unique on Florida’s 2,000 miles of Coastline.
Blowing Rocks Preserve is a magnificent barrier island sanctuary located on Jupiter Island, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon. Blowing Rocks protects a variety of natural habitats, including beach dune, coastal strand, mangrove wetlands, tropical hammock and oak hammock.
Its rocky Anastasia limestone shoreline is the largest on the Atlantic coast. During extreme high tides and after winter storms, seas break against the rocks and force plumes of saltwater up to 50 feet skyward, an impressive sight for which the preserve was named.
The other side…
Well, you’ve shown us the rocks form both sides now. Love that last shot with the water splash suspended mid-air.

Beautiful photos. It’s nice to see the Atlantic from down south. I’m a New Englander myself.

Beautiful shots and I can imagine hearing the water.
Wow! That is a LOT of beauty!!
Interesting, we missed that when we were in the area last year.
That’s a wonderful preserve. I love the water crashing on the rocks. So well captured.

What a great beach. I love how the water comes up out of the holes in the limestone. Excellent captures.
