Whether you’re celebrating a special event, catching up with friends, or just craving a sunny escape, our charters deliver the perfect mix of relaxation and fun.
The Peanut Island Sandbar is a hotspot for locals and visitors alike — shallow turquoise waters, soft sandy bottoms, and panoramic island views make it the ultimate destination for an unforgettable day. With easy access from West Palm Beach, you can go from city to sandbar in minutes.
What Is the Peanut Island Sandbar?
The Peanut Island Sandbar forms during low tide, creating a natural shallow-water playground where boats can anchor and guests can enjoy wading, floating, and socializing (Palm Beach County Parks & Recreation). This unique spot is surrounded by crystal-clear waters, making it perfect for activities like swimming, paddleboarding, or simply lounging on a float.
Because of its proximity to Phil Foster Park and other attractions, you can easily pair your sandbar visit with snorkeling or sightseeing. Families love it for its calm waters and soft sandy bottom, while party groups see it as the ideal venue for a floating celebration.
