Hobe Sound - Wed May 7th 2014

From Hutchinson, we headed south to Hobe Sound, named after the Native American Jove Indians.  In the land boom of the 1920's, the city was renamed  "Picture City" because it was intended to be a prime location for filming motion pictures.  However, after the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane, the boom went bust, and the town reverted to Hobe Sound.  Here we found another lovely beach area, again with ample free parking, covered picnic area, and one that also allowed pets on leashes outside of the area protected by  life guards.  There is a drawbridge leading to the beach and part of the road is lined with huge trees.  Again, as in the parks and on bridges, there were several benches along the way for pedestrians to relax and enjoy the scenery.
