On Bridge Rd under gorgeous banyan trees beside fairy-soft grass, you can take a magical walk all the way from Highway A1A over Hobe Sound Bridge to the sea. At the beginning, near Highway A1A, it feels so lovely walking under the banyan trees amid the scent of thick tropical vegetation. You then cross Hobe Sound Bridge, with its tranquil views of islands and shimmering water. Next, you are even more amazed, when the vegetation becomes more beautiful, with softest green grass under gnarled banyans. It is so lovely! You walk all the way to the wonderful sea, where rugged Hobe Sound Beach beckons you to sit and smell the salt air.
Even when the wind at the ocean is blasting, it's perfectly sheltered along the Banyan Tree walk! To extend your exercise, walk south on Gomez Rd (there is no sidewalk) and you can find a lovely little pedestrian-only walkway at the intracoastal waterway near Barron Place.
The drive to this walk from Tequesta along Highway 1 to Highway 1A is lovely- all open road with strange vegetation in a slightly barren-looking landscape.
Have a coffee after, at Hobe Sound Bible College Coffee Shoppe, if you are walking on a weekday (open M-F 7am-4:45pm, closed noon-1). It is only 300m from the beginning of the walk. It is in Addison Student Center, at the end of the parking lot between Bethel Way and Sunrise Way.
Or have a coffee in Hobe Sound town after. You can walk to Hobe Sound Social and Coffee from the banyan tree walk and sit outside at their tables.
From Highway 1A, turn toward the ocean on SE Bridge Rd. You can turn right on Shell Rd and park your car along the road. This is where the walk starts. If parking your car there seems sketchy, drive to the end of SE Bridge Rd to Hobe Sound Beach, park in the free parking lot, and then take the walk from the other direction.
HSBC Coffee Shoppe, 9254 Sunrise Way (park in the parking lot between Sunrise Way and Bethel Way), Hobe Sound. Open M-F 7am-4:45pm, closed noon-1pm. Closed weekends. It is in Addison Student Center, at the end of the parking lot between Bethel Way and Sunrise Way.

This area is so unique with the canopy of trees overhead with the Banyan Trees that line both sides of the road. A sidewalk on the north side of the road is wide enough for walkers or bikers. One can travel the distance over the intercoastal bridge and continue your walk to see yet more of the tree lined road. All visitors and residents enjoy this area!
