      When I moved to be closer to my work in south Florida, I imagined it was going to be as busy and packed with tourists like in Orlando and Miami. I was wrong, living in Hobe Sound is absolutely paradise. Most people who have been to Florida have never heard of our city, and that explains why the roads are so quiet all year.

      The best areas in Hobe Sound are the beaches. I take the SE Bridge to Hobe Sound Beach and have miles of white-sand beaches to myself. I can ride my bike or walk the scenic North Beach Road, which hugs the coast and allows me to enjoy stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.

      There is more to Hobe Sound than the beaches, we have some of the best seafood restaurants in the region too. Golf courses, marinas, and parks, Hobe Sound has something for everyone. Shopping is incredible because whatever I can't find here, I ride down A1A to West Palm Beach and find it there.
