Site Information
| Bottom Type: Sand |
Visibility: |
Depth: |
Date: 4/18/01 |
| Attractions: Barracuda, crabs, flounder, hermit crabs, sting
rays. I saw a group of about a dozen squid here also. There are two
small sailboats sunk by the beach. You definitely want to check them
out. One is only partially submerged at low tide. They are both to
the left (north) of the water taxi dock. To the right (south) of the water
taxi dock is a beach. Past the beach is the future site of a snorkeling
park. It's worth while to snorkel around the island. That's how I
found the sting ray. |

| Directions: The best time to go to Peanut island is on a weekday
morning. It becomes a boat parking lot on the weekend. You can get to Peanut Island either by renting a sea kayak
or taking the Palm Beach water taxi. The taxi is $5.00 round trip and the
kayak was $25.00 for four hours. The water taxi leaves from parking lot by the boat ramps at Phil
Foster Park. To get to Phil Foster Park from the strip mall. Head
west on Blue Heron Blvd. The park entrance is just before the
bridge. Parking is free. |
