About Peanut Island Time

Peanut Island Time is a comprehensive independent visitor guide helping visitors plan for everything related to Peanut Island — a 79-acre tropical island nestled in the Lake Worth Lagoon in Riviera Beach, Florida. This site was developed to be the most complete and up-to-date independent visitor guide for Peanut Island, one of Palm Beach County's most popular waterfront destinations.  This online guide is NOT affiliated with or operated by Palm Beach County.

What We Do

We connect visitors with the local outfitters, rental providers, charter operators, restaurants, and services that make a Peanut Island trip possible. Whether you're looking for a ferry or water taxi to get to the island, need to rent a jet ski, kayak, or paddleboard, or want to book a fishing charter or snorkeling tour, our website helps you find what you need in one place.

We also provide practical information about the island itself — from snorkeling at the north shore lagoon and camping reservations to visiting the historic President John F. Kennedy Bunker, a Cold War–era fallout shelter built on the island in 1961.

Why Peanut Island Time?

Peanut Island attracts thousands of visitors every year, but finding reliable, organized information about the services and activities available in the area hasn't always been easy. We built Peanut Island Time to solve that by bringing together ferry schedules, watersport rentals, fishing options, dining, tours, marine information, and on-island activities into a single, searchable visitor resource.

Our mission is to be the most trusted independent visitor resource for Peanut Island, helping visitors plan better experiences through accurate information, local knowledge, and honest recommendations, so they can spend less time searching and more time enjoying their Peanut Island experience.

Who Runs Peanut Island Time?

Peanut Island Time is owned and operated by LocalInform, LLC, an independent publishing and digital media company focused on creating destination guides, local information resources, and visitor-focused websites.  Peanut Island Time was created because we believed visitors deserved a dedicated resource focused specifically on Peanut Island rather than having to piece information together from multiple websites. Our focus is simple: provide visitors with the most helpful, accurate, and useful Peanut Island information we can, while continuing to improve the resources available on the site over time. Our goal is to help residents and visitors discover useful information, businesses, attractions, and activities through reliable, easy-to-use online resources. As both publishers and local information curators, our role is to organize, maintain, and improve resources that help visitors make informed decisions before arriving on Peanut Island.
