About This Beach
Blowing Rocks Preserve, managed by The Nature Conservancy, features the largest Anastasia limestone shoreline on the Atlantic coast. During high tide and rough seas, waves crash against the rocks and force plumes of saltwater up to 50 feet in the air – a spectacular natural display. The preserve has restored native Florida coastal habitats including beach dune, coastal strand, maritime hammock, and mangrove swamp. Boardwalks and trails allow visitors to explore the different ecosystems with educational signage. The unique geological formations create excellent tide pools for viewing marine life.
