Venture further inland by kayak or canoe, meandering along the Loxahatchee River into magical, enchanted cypress forests.

The average water temperature is a comfortable 78 degrees. The average winter temp is 71 degrees and the summer average is 84 degrees.

The city’s history may date back to the earliest days of Florida’s non-native occupation. The earliest known records date back to 1565 when the Spanish first came to this area and found the Jega Indians living along the banks of the Inlet and river. In 1696, a Quaker merchant named Jonathan Dickinson shipwrecked off the coast in the area of Hobe Sound. Dickinson, his family and other survivors, made an arduous journey along the coast to St. Augustine. His journal, describing encounters with Native Americans and Spanish settlers, gives valuable information about life in early Florida.
