Peanut Island, accessible only by ferry or private boat, is a quirky Palm Beach County favorite noted by Condé Nast Traveler and local news outlets for its crystal-clear snorkeling lagoons, picnic areas, and fascinating Cold War-era bunker built for President Kennedy. The island’s grassroots vibe, clean beaches, and friendly boaters make it a laid-back alternative to more commercialized beaches. Pack a cooler and your sense of adventure—this is about as local as a tropical getaway gets.
