Things to Do Near Peanut Island

Choose one extra stop

These attractions are off the island and require a mainland or Singer Island transfer. Catch your return boat first. For a relaxed outing, choose one extra stop rather than squeezing every attraction into the same day.

Easy add-on: Marina Village waterfront and dining.
Family learning: Manatee Lagoon.
More nature time: MacArthur Beach State Park.
Another water outing: Phil Foster or Ocean Reef, subject to conditions.

Phil Foster Park

Shore snorkeling, waterfront time and paddling access. Check tides, swim-area notices and currents before entering the water.

Manatee Lagoon

Educational exhibits and an observation area overlooking the lagoon. Admission and parking are free. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed; check seasonal hours before visiting.

John D. MacArthur Beach State Park

A longer nature outing with trails, beach access, birdwatching and kayaking. Check park admission, rental availability and current advisories.

Ocean Reef Park

An oceanfront beach option for a walk or additional beach time. Check beach flags and current swimming conditions; ocean conditions differ from the island lagoon.

Riviera Beach Marina Village

Explore the marina waterfront and combine your return with dining at Rafiki Tiki. Check the marina’s current calendar for scheduled activities.

After-island planning

Check opening hours before setting out: an attraction may close before your final ferry return. Driving time varies with traffic. Some parks and rentals charge fees; confirm these on the official pages.
