The best beach in Hobe Sound Florida is located at the Nathaniel P. Reed Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge. This place is a hidden gem. Once you walk down a flight of stairs on one of the sand dunes, you will reach a very private beach with white sugar sand. It’s one of my favorite beaches to take my two young kids too. When the tide is low, the waters are clear and shallow exposing the sea life.

Kid Friendly Beach In Martin County

What makes a beach kid friendly? I have two young daughters ages 3 and almost 5. It is important that the beach does not have strong currents, the water must be shallow and clear so that I can see what they are swimming with. Bathrooms are a plus along with a shower. Other important factors that make a beach kid friendly are: how long it takes to walk to the beach and if it has shaded areas. The beach at Hobe Sound Nature Center has all of these making it the best beach in Hobe Sound Florida. Check out my other kid-friendly beaches in South Florida.
