To visit Peanut Island Park, you need your own boat, or take the ferry from Sailfish Marina Resort, or Riviera Beach Marina, or board the Peanut Island Water Taxi. Once on this 80-acre tropical park, enjoy swimming beaches along the Intracoastal, shaded picnic areas, camping, and walking path that circumnavigates the island. Beautiful, clear water is perfect for viewing colorful fish, stingray, barracuda, manatees, and a shipwreck while snorkeling. Note there are no concessions or food on the island, be sure you have all your gear, food and water with you. On the island is the Kennedy Bunker, built in 1961 for President John F. Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The bunker is operated by the Palm Beach Maritime Museum and is open for tours which also include the historic Coast Guard Station. An admission is charged.
