“Peanut Island is a true treasure in the West Palm Beach area. 🌴🚤 The water is crystal clear and perfect for swimming or snorkeling, the trails are ideal for walking and discovering quiet spots, and there’s always a relaxed atmosphere that invites you to enjoy time with family or friends. It’s also an excellent place for a picnic or simply to relax while watching the sea. Without a doubt, it’s a destination I highly recommend for an unforgettable day!”

I recommend if your an outdoor person. We did camping. They have restrooms with showers clean condition. Could use a little update though. No electricity on the camping area you have to go to restrooms for electricity. Beaches are very nice. Warm water, pets are allow. Didn't see much shade close to water, but they do have shade on the picnic areas. NeG: camping they only allow 1 tent per lot, we had an extra one to store our food items and they told us to take down :(((

Very nice atmosphere and friendly people. The ferry ride to the island is about 5 minutes. Last ride back is 5pm. So get in line at pier a little earlier than that. There are no snacks or refreshments that you can purchase on the island and not always a lifeguard w available. Bring beach shoes if you're going to be extra safe. Saw a few broken shards or wine glass , also the rocks are very sharp, they will cut you. Beautiful scenery. Iguanas everywhere, which is pretty cool to see. If you like fishing, drop a line under the pier. Will definitely come back. Cost about 25 dollars per person for round trip ferry. Paid parking about 10 bucks.

Visited peanut Island, the end of July 2025. There seem to be a lot of construction going on. They were dredging sand off the island and onto a barge. There’s a lot of areas that are decrepit and falling apart. I’ve heard a lot about this island over the years and this was my first visit there. There is a nice sandbar off the island where people were anchored and paddle boarding and canoeing. Half of the showers did not work on the island. There does seem to be a project underway to do some renovation and update some of the structures that are there. I had my own boat so I was able to get there on my own without having to take the water taxi.

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.

Love this little piece of heaven. The seaweed was sooo bad on the beach ans it smells horrible so we went back to pnut Island!! You can walk, snorkel, play in the sand collect shells and get a tan!! Pack a cooler, sandwiches and snacks!! Food isn't provided nor drinks!! It's only $20 to and from the island. Get there early and leave around 4:30. Park closes at 5!!

The place is absolutely beautiful, and we truly enjoyed the stunning scenery. It's a dog-friendly island, which we appreciated, but dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. Unfortunately, we weren’t aware of this rule. The way the staff approached us was unnecessarily rude and confrontational. If they had told us in a respectful and friendly manner, it would have made a big difference in our overall experience.

One of my favorite beaches in Florida. The Snorkel Trail is beyond amazing. Feels like snorkeling in an aquarium. The cover from the bridge is great and having lifeguards is perfect. Can't recommend enough! And parking is free! Showers to rinse off and bathrooms are here as well.

PERFECT place to snorkel and spend a beach day, especially with younger kids. You MUST get there early. Before 9am to get a parking spot, as they are limited. The snorkel trail is great so bring masks, fins and snorkel. The best part is the shade under the overpass compared to any other beach. We saw so much sea life.

Gets very crowded. I would suggest going early to secure a spot, especially for parking. Overall, a great place to swim and snorkel… very pretty when the conditions are right, be careful of currents, they will wash you away from shore. Currents aren’t always bad, usually pretty calm.

Phil Foster Park is an absolute gem for anyone who loves snorkeling, diving, or just being near the water. The snorkel trail here is one of the best I’ve experienced—so much marine life packed into a relatively shallow area that’s super easy to access right from shore. I saw tropical fish, starfish, sea urchins, and even a stingray! The water was clearest around high tide, so I definitely recommend timing your visit for then. The artificial reef is well-designed and perfect for beginners and families. The underwater sculptures and variety of sea creatures make it feel like a real-life aquarium. The park itself is clean, has plenty of picnic tables, restrooms, and even a playground for kids. There’s also a boat ramp and a fishing area if you’re into that. Just be warned—parking fills up fast on weekends, so come early or try a weekday if you can. Only minor downside: the area under the bridge can get a little crowded and noisy, and I’ve heard of occasional break-ins in the parking lot, so don’t leave valuables visible in your car. Overall, though, this place is incredible and absolutely worth visiting—especially if you love underwater adventures without needing a boat or expensive gear.

Great place to enjoy the waves. N Sun. Serenity is found here. Parking close. Are feels safe. A nice bench to enjoy a snack and to stare into the eyes of your wife to say I love you. Or even propose to your future wife.

its an OK spot to snorkel or shore dive . the water gets crowded but theres plenty of parking . the " reef " " wreck " in the water is placed there . fresh water shower spicket near benches / parking lot .

This is a great place to launch your boat or go snorkeling! This is a very busy location so parking for cars is a challenge. I would recommend coming early to park and come for high tide to go snorkeling. The snorkeling trail is filled with starfish, different types of colorful fish, octopus, sting rays, and many more types of sea life.

Loved this beach! Went with my boyfriend and cousin and we had a blast. It wasn’t crowded and the water was clean and clear. The sand is soft and the view of the nice buildings is beautiful. Loved to walked around the nice stores after and take a look at the nice houses and cars around the area.

This is our first time visiting this beach, and all I can say is that it's a beautiful place 😍. Family oriented and peaceful

Beautiful beach!! Very clean, lovely small fish. Lifeguard at 9am. Parking is $7 an hour, and there are also showers.

Perfect. Super nice place. The beach is clear. Amazing

My favorite beach in the area, this is where I usually take my family. Decent parking, but a bit pricey. That said, it’s Palm Beach island so to be expected. Beach is always nice and clean, with plenty of restaurants within walking distance for lunch. Life guard typically on duty near the main entrance, but you can walk south of the clock tower if you’re looking for a bit more seclusion.

I just can't get enough of this place beautiful always people friendly but you can always walk a little bit more and feel like you are all by yourself at your own private beach resort ⛵ ⛱️ ⌛ ☀️

One of my favorite things about this beach is that it is extremely quiet and has very few people at it. My friends and I have come to this beach several times throughout the year, and every time we are impressed at how peaceful it is. Parking is incredibly easy. You can find simple, paid street parking lining the entire beach. There is always tons of spots available, so you will never be searching for long. The beach itself is very clean. The sand doesn’t have many other materials mixed in it, which allows for a very smooth and pleasant experience. You will see a long line of seaweed at low tide, but this is natural. At high tide, the beach looks pristine. The water is incredibly warm. Even on cold days, you can expect it is water to feel quite warm to the touch. If you’re looking for watching the sun, this beach is good for sunrises as you can see it out on the horizon while sitting on the sand.

We had an amazing day here! Lots of snorkeling fun and so much sea life to swim with. We saw squids, lots of different kinds of fish, and even a nurse shark! Being able to swim with the schools of little fish is magical. Definitely will be back again as it was worth the 2-3 hour drive from the golf side of the state. I will say the sand is HOT!!! wear something protective not flip flops...you will burn your feet!!!!

This is 1 of my favorite beaches. Beautiful blue ocean. You can see 🐟 🐠. So many shells 🐚. Absolutely love this park .

Beautiful, crystal clear water. Very clean beach, lots of shells, great place to snorkel. Free parking, as every beach should be free for all to enjoy.

Wonderful place, highly recommended! ❤️🌅 Free parking beautiful beach stone beach and sand beach beautiful fishes

Nice beach park with plenty of parking. Nice family park there space for private grilling while the kids and grandkids enjoy the water

We were there 10/11/2025. NO swimming, beach walk looked like a cliff from the angry ocean.

It was great. Plenty of room to walk about and enjoy the sea

The fee charged for a place within swimming distance is meaningless. They make a short announcement about the island. All your bags are checked before you get on the ferry. They check if there is alcohol. If there is, they take it. (We didn't have any because we had 4 children, but we saw someone else find it and take it.) You wear a bracelet on your arm that says 'No alcohol' This is important! These are checked when entering the ferry and returning from the island. In addition, the staff is very polite and helpful.

Went to peanut Island, absolutely loved it with my family! The ferry ride was absolutely amazing. Both of the captains were fantastic, accommodating and super funny. If you haven’t yet visited, please do so with your family. They have grills and pavilions on the island which I didn’t know of but it was my first time so next time I know that I’m gonna be bringing a cooler full of stuff to do a barbecue with even more family. Thanks for having us.

My family and I came from Daytona to celebrate my daughter’s graduation. She wanted to go to Peanut island to snorkel. The shuttle boat was awesome, and the trip there and back doesn’t take long at all! We got dropped off enjoyed our day and then they picked us back up when we were ready to head back in for dinner.

Its very nice and quiet beach to go with your family. You have to take a ferry and if you miss one there's another one every 25 min

A little pricey but perfect! We loved being a Monday morning at a very chill Peanut Island!

Weekenders reserve your spot online. You're allowed to board early if you're checked in. The reservation booth and taxis are at the south end of the marina. Don't bring alcohol. Bring everything needed for beach, gatorade, water, food, sunscreen. The snorkeling is great. We saw many fish, including Parrot and Sgt Majors. Snorkeling near the rocks will give best views. Last boat leaves at 5pm. Each taxi takes 40-45 passengers. Pizza and Italian ice boats come close to shore too.The taxi crews are friendly.

The experience was amazing. We had our golden meeting at Peanut Island and the boat made the experience even better.

I dont think we could have had a better time. All day affair lol #waterlife

Beautiful facility and very well maintained. Perfect for events large or small. Beautiful reception area, grand ballroom and there smaller spaces. Two story with service and regular elevators.

Very nice Marina and for events. Boat and Kayak rentals down at the beach. Sundays usually have a little event going on where locals are selling all kinds of items. Nice little Tiki Bar on the corner too.

A beautiful complex with plenty of parking; a tiki bar restaurant; boat access; and water sports huts. The complex overlooks Peanut Island and the Blue Heron bridge. The marina is accessible with ramped sidewalks. Beautiful views!

The rooftop room was awesome! The halls were lovely. But the exterior was such a beauty. The workers weren't the most approachable, but I guess I wasnt there for them anyway.

Great venue for anything meetings, weddings and beer tasting!

Cool spot to have a party or reception.
