Just let us know, and we'll customize your visit to fit your needs.
Some history about the island
Originally named Inlet Island, the island was renamed Peanut Island for a planned peanut oil-shipping operation which failed in 1946. A $13-million renovation on the island in 2005 resulted in Peanut Island Park including camp sites, a pier, and a man-made reef. It includes paths that encircle the island, along with gardens and picnic sites.
The island also was the location of 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 was open for tours for several years, but was closed in October 2017.
