NURTURE WITH NATURE

Floating under the shade of glistening green cypress trees, listening to the music of tropical birds, smelling sweet water lillies — it’s only a few paddles away while you are Loxahatchee kayaking.
Rent a canoe, kayak or bicycle and spend a few hours nurturing with nature in Riverbend Park.
The 10-mile ride brings you past drop-dead gorgeous homes with vegetation that looks like the landscaper used tweezers for upkeep. Some of the about 300 houses have names like “Paradise Found” and “Tranquility” written on the mailboxes.
When you get to Hobe Sound Martin County Beach Park, you’re in for a treat: Here comes the air-conditioned part of the ride.
Luscious and overgrown and cool, dozens of thick banyan trees lean over and link arms to shade Bridge Road as it heads west. Cross over the Intracoastal Waterway, and there’s several great restaurants on the left hand side.
Taste Casual Dining is our favorite eating spot. (The crab cakes are AMAZING!)
Stroll on down the dock and join Love Street Outdoor Center on a relaxed 30-minute dinner cruise through the Jupiter Inlet, under Cato’s Bridge, alongside the historic Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and past lush mangrove islands.
You’ll coast up the Intracoastal Waterway, Indian River, or Fullerton Island. Watch manatees, turtles, osprey and other wildlife pass by.
Experience the sunset while Loxahatchee kayaking, one of the kayaking Loxahatchee tours.
