Heritage Ridge Walk, Hobe Sound
Heritage Ridge is one of the few hilly areas in South Florida! Many people enjoy walking the neighborhood! It is pleasant to see hills for a change, and to walk past the many tropical plants. There are trees with red bottle brush flowers that bloom in the spring, royal poinciana trees that look glorious in May, and little blue and yellow wildflowers along the sidewalk in July. Birds sing happily in the morning. Bunny rabbits hop along. Rainbow lizards dart under the golf course bridge. You may even see an otter in the ponds at the golf course at the end of Lexington Ave! Come very early in the morning since there isn't much shade.
There are two streets to walk, SE Lexington Ave and SE Constitution Blvd. Lexington Ave is the one with many bottle brush trees and has the most shade. Constitution Blvd is raised up so you get sweeping views over the golf course. It is not far from the ocean, as the bird flies, so the air is clean and there's a nice breeze. SE Heritage Blvd is the main road between these two streets and from it you can see two large glorious banyan trees outside the golf course club house. All three of these streets have sidewalks on at least one side of the road.
This is a three mile walk if you walk all of Heritage Blvd from Dixie Hwy to Federal Hwy, and walk to the north end of both side streets.
If you walk to the end of Tory Place, you can often see wildlife in the canal. It is almost like a wildlife sanctuary there are so many different birds! There is a bench (not shady) where you can enjoy the view.
You can sit outside on the back balcony of Heritage Ridge Golf Club enjoying the sunset while having cocktails each night- this is a favorite with locals. Once a month there is a prime rib dinner, that you must reserve ahead of time.
Another pleasant walk in this area is Seabranch Blvd and you can have a coffee at Bagel Bistro after, sitting in the cool morning air on their French chairs outside.
You can also have a coffee at Hobe Sound Social and Coffee in Hobe Sound town.
After, check out the ocean at Hobe Sound Beach. Or sit outside in the strong breeze at Starbucks on Federal Hwy near Cove Rd, a six minute drive away. Or have a meal in Port Salerno.
