Penut Island

If you like Kamping and the beach then this is a great spot!  It is basicaly an open island for those who want to come and kamp or just spend the day on the island.  If you want to kamp there you will have to make reservations.  You can grill out or Join the Fire Ring depending on the the winds.  Pets are allowed but you have to keep the on a leash. 
 
 There are a couple of landmarks on the islansd, With their red roofs and clapboard walls, the historic Coast Guard station and boat house, placed in service in 1930, are reminders of days gone by.
The Coast Guard station, boat house, and John F. Kennedy bunker are part of the Palm Beach Maritime Museum which is open to the public. 

They have some nice small beaches around the island and the snorkel is pretty good at the reafs.  There is a lot of diferrent wild life and sea life at the park.  Manatees are always in and out of the waterways there.  There arent any areas to rent things like Kayaks which was a negative for me since we came over on a water taxi just for the day but we brought what we needed and
had a long fun day there.  Im defanatly ready to go back for the weekend.

Now this is a party spot on the holidays and long weekends and a lot of
boats pull up on these days and just party the whole day, so I wouldnt recomend one of these weekends if you have small children.  If you are looking to hang out and party Holiday weekends are a lot of fun there.    Theres a lot more at http://www.pbcgov.com/parks/peanutisland/, have fun!!
