Did you know there’s a tropical island in Florida?

Peanut Island is a paradise that's just a paddleboard ride away from West Palm Beach!

We started our day paddling over the crystal-clear waters from Bicentennial Park—it's just a short trip and so worth it. If paddling isn't your thing, there's also a shuttle boat that'll get you there in no time!

The snorkeling here is next level, with vibrant marine life all around. Make sure you come an hour before high tide for the clearest water. 🐠💦

Right when we got in the water, we came across this cute cuttlefish. There are also tons of fish, starfish, and we even saw this HUGE hermit crab.

If you love a good beach walk, you can circle the entire island on a scenic walkway that’s only a little over a mile.

For those who love a little adventure, you can even camp overnight. Imagine sleeping under the stars after a day in the sun!

The island is most serene during weekdays, and don't forget your reef-safe sunscreen to keep the reefs healthy!

Can't wait to share more of these hidden spots with you. Follow for more adventures! 🏝️💦

Location: Peanut Island
