The island is located in the Port of Palm Beach directly inside the inlet and the west side of the island offers docks and boardwalks. The east side of the island is home to a shady county park with picnic tables and campgrounds and snorkeling area. The island's rocky shoreline has attracted a large quantity and variety of fish. Unlike Pennekamp, where one cannot stand or touch bottom for fear of harming the coral, Peanut Island snorkeling can include regular feet-on-the-ground breaks to clear your mask. The best snorkeling area is located on the south side of the island, part of a small, protected cove with shallow waters and near a white sand beach. Best visibility is recommended from two hours prior to two hours after high tide; low tide brings murkier water.
Just north of the Lake Worth/Palm Beach Inlet, south of the Blue Heron Bridge.
