Blowing Rocks Preserve, Jupiter Island

Watching the sunrise is one of the most beautiful sights a person can ever experience on this planet. When the weather cooperates and allows you to see the sun break over the horizon, nothing can be more magical. Blowing Rocks itself is an magical place, the only place in Florida where the rocks meet the ocean the way it does. These rocks can be beautiful and dangerous at the same time. I had the chance to experience both. If you ever plan on visiting be sure to wear shoes. I didn't and ended up stubbing my toe. Rocks are hard to see in the dark!
