Story

Peanut Island is a 79acre island at the mouth of the Lake Worth Inlet in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. The island was created by dredging-related projects in 1918 which also created the inlet and the Port of Palm Beach.Originally named Inlet Island, the island was renamed Peanut Island for a planned peanut oil-shipping operation which failed in 1946. A $13 million USD renovation on the island in 2005 resulted in Peanut Island Park including camp sites, a pier, and a man-made reef. The island also features a blast shelter built in secret for President John F. Kennedy shortly after his 1960 election. Kennedy often spent winters in nearby Palm Beach, Florida. The shelter, Detachment Hotel, is operated by the Palm Beach Maritime Museum and is open to visitors as an example of Cold War-era concerns for the president's safety.

Very crowded on Sunday. Many boats park here and hang out. Lots of open music blasting from boats and beach people. People smoking and drinking beer on the beach. Bring food there are no places to buy food and you can't leave and come back. Great for snorkeling but late in pm or early am. Look at tide schedule for high tide before you go. Only one ferry running now but runs every 15 minutes.

This place is amazing. The water is so clear that you can see fish swimming. Great for snorkeling, picnics, camping. You must bring your own food since there are no restaurants. They allow dogs in some areas. I have not been to the bunker yet but plan to visit soon. You can also camp here during certain times.

Great for dogs! Glamping at its finest, hot showers, running water, toilets, beach front camping spots, fishing piers, paved walking path lit up at night. Can get very crowded on the weekends.

Really nice facilities. There is some recent storm damage. Lifeguarded beaches and restrooms.

We love to sail over to this little island, it has camping ground which seems like a cool thing to do for a night.
