N End of Hobe Sound Beach is very shallow if you are talking about the Preserve? recommend going at high tide...
The Public Beach at the East end of Bridge Road usually has a nice trough and an outer reef. Once on the beach if you go North the reef will come in closer and closer to the the shore so you may get hung up on the rocks on a long cast...if you go South it starts getting deeper on down by the false point..
i usually fish somewhere between the the St Lucie and Ft Pierce Inlets... In the summer we catch some Pompanos but on the small side... Bonefish, sharks, whiting, croaker, hook into a Tarpon every now and then and anything else that swims!!
water clarity is usually TOO Clear!!!! weeds not so bad...Heat=Bad...umbrella and sunscreen...

let me know when you are down here...i live at Waveland..
