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.

Our group of 7 had a great time. Advice: Bring unbrellas/shade, snorkel gear, paddleboards, food, etc with you. There's nothing on the island as far as concessions. Shuttles run every 15min, ending at 5pm. Pack up no later than 4pm to get on one of those. If you're there after 5pm, it's $100/person charge to bring you back. Get there early, but don't expect clear waters until high tides. There are still places to see fish in lower tides, so not bad.

Ok this is a gem of a place! Can only get there by boat. We took a ferry that runs every 20 minutes. The water is crystal clear for snorkeling or swimming or paddle boarding. Beach is nice! Lots of tables available. And walking paths through the island. Bathrooms are also present on the island.

Wonderful and magical snorkeling, saw barracuda, gar, parrot fish, general majors, and many more. Bright blue water. Only downsides are the amount of people is crazy and it’s hard to find shade, there were 2 50 yo men absolutely blaring horrible music remixes all day long which could be heard throughout the whole east side of the island. Their annoying presence made me question the $20 ferry fee. Otherwise great snorkeling and clear water. Was able to see huge margaritaville cruise ship pull out of harbor.

Check the weather, bring some type of covering or means to get out of the sun. The JFK bunker is still under construction and you can’t get in to see it. Snorkeling gear can be rented from the shuttle service but they run out, you don’t really need fins. There are camping areas and bbq pits. There are trash cans throughout so please don’t litter as well as bathrooms. HAVE FUN!!!! Try to make your trip coincide with high tide.

Nice beach, I paid $20 dollars per person for the roundtrip shuttle. You see many fishes and corals. The water is pretty clear too. Decent restrooms.

This place is awesome! We took a ferry over for the afternoon. Beautiful clear water with man-made reefs.

Nice island for snorkeling with kids. Don’t bring dive gear, not worth the haul. You can bring your own boat, do not need to rely on the shuttle.
