Peanut Island Park

About

An island park in the Intracoastal Waterway near Riviera Beach, Peanut Island offers swimming beaches, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing access. Your kids can explore paved walking paths, spot wildlife like iguanas and birds, and climb the observation deck. Bring everything you need since there's no food or rental concession on the island. Best for families wanting a full day of outdoor water play and wildlife spotting. You'll need a boat or water taxi to reach the island. Pack water shoes for protection from sharp rocks and shells, sunscreen, and snacks. Camping with reserved tent sites is an option if you want to stay overnight.

• fire ring, group/community (in campground) (1)

  · Variable

  I don't have enough information to write an accurate description of this program. The website content provided is incomplete and doesn't include details about what actually happens at the fire ring activity, who it's designed for, when it meets, or what it costs beyond "variable per month." Without knowing the age range, schedule, specific activities, or pricing structure, I can't write the warm, specific, friend-to-friend description you're looking for. I'd recommend gathering more details directly from Peanut Island Park's staff or a more complete version of their program listing before I draft this.

• reserved and limited camping in designated areas

  Class
  · Variable

  Peanut Island Park offers camping experiences in designated areas right on the Intracoastal Waterway near the Lake Worth Inlet in Riviera Beach — it's a unique chance for kids to spend time outdoors on an actual island with water access. The park is open during daylight hours for day use in designated areas, though camping permits are available if you want to extend your visit. Costs vary depending on what you choose, and it's billed monthly, so you'll want to check their Parks & Recreation page or contact them directly for current pricing and availability. What really sets this apart is the location itself — it's not your typical backyard camping experience, and kids get to explore a real island environment. Just note that if you're planning a camping trip, alcohol is only permitted in the camping permit areas, and balloons aren't allowed at the park.

• picnic pavilion, group (registered camper use only) (1)

  Class
  · Variable

  I appreciate you sharing this, but I need to be honest: the information provided doesn't contain enough detail for me to write an authentic, parent-friendly description. The website content cuts off mid-sentence, and the key details are marked as unknown (age range, schedule, and what kids actually do during the program). I can see this is a group pavilion at Peanut Island Park available for registered campers, but I don't have specifics about what activities happen there, who it's designed for, or how it's structured. Rather than fill in gaps with guesses, I'd recommend getting more details directly from Palm Beach County Parks & Recreation—like what games, crafts, or activities happen during group sessions, what ages participate, and typical session times—so I can write something that actually helps parents decide if it's right for their family.

• campground​, reserved tent sites (17)

  Class
  · Variable

  Peanut Island Park offers reserved tent camping sites right on the water in Riviera Beach, giving your family a chance to experience an island getaway without going far from home. There are 17 tent sites available to book, so you'll have a dedicated spot to set up camp and enjoy the Intracoastal waterway. Just keep in mind that alcohol is only allowed in the camping permit areas, and balloons aren't permitted at the park. Costs vary depending on which month you're planning to visit, so it's worth checking their Parks & Recreation website or calling ahead to find out pricing for your dates and reserve your site.

  I appreciate you wanting me to write this, but I have to be honest — the information provided doesn't actually tell me what activities and programs Peanut Island Park offers for kids. The website content shows it's a beautiful waterway location in Riviera Beach with general park info, but there are no details about specific children's programming, age groups, schedules, or what kids actually do there. Without that core information, I can't write an authentic description the way you've asked — warm, specific, and like a real parent who's been there. Rather than make something up, I'd recommend checking the full Parks & Recreation website or calling the park directly to get the actual program details before I draft this.

  I appreciate you sharing this information, but I don't have enough details to write an authentic parent-to-friend description of this program. The website content provided is mostly navigation pages and park information rather than specifics about the campground reservation program itself — I can see it's located on Peanut Island in the Intracoastal Waterway near Riviera Beach and that you can call 561-845-4445 to reserve, but I don't have information about what ages it's for, what the camping experience includes, how long reservations are, specific pricing, or what makes it special for kids. Rather than guess at those details, I'd rather be honest that I need more content from the actual program page to write something genuine and helpful for parents.
