Harry and the Natives - Hobe Sound Florida Click here for more information
Trip Image

We weren't sure what Harry and the Natives was at first, but we saw a lot of people coming in and out, and we soon realized it was a bar/restaurant. The "yard" was filled with an assortment of wacky things, and the front of the restaurant had funny signs and odd decor. The interior was even better - hats stapled to the ceiling, lots of funny signs, street signs, faded fishing photos, old T-shirts, buoys - an incredible assortment of eclectic stuff. We found Harry's to be totally unique and enjoyable, and if you ever get anywhere near Hobe Sound, Florida, GO! Best Key Lime Pie in America.

We would have never even known about King Neptune, but after spending time on our RoundAmerica.com web site, Melissa Keeney, a reporter with NBC Channel 7 in Panama City, realized that we were into statues, so she took us to the statue and filmed us there as part of a news story for NBC.
