SNORKELING HEAVEN 🐠 Peanut Island, Florida | Near West Palm Beach (part 1)
Recorded: July 2022

[@yvette968]

Wow what a beautiful place. I love Florida there’s so much to do. Thank you!

[@PSAdventures]

You're so welcome Yvette! It's amazing how many cool places we have in our state. You could do something every day of the year and still have so much to see! 😊

[@joeyhurley4867]

I cannot believe you did not snorkel at blue heron bridge where you got on the boat. That is the single best shore dive in the state of Florida. You see eels, grouper, lobster massive star fish. If you ever go back that’s where to do ur snorkeling.

[@PSAdventures]

Thanks for letting us know! The locals that took us on a boat ride on our second day at Peanut Island were talking about the great snorkeling there, but we just ran out of time. We will make a special trip to snorkel there. ❤️

[@jackmcnair3722]

I did my first 10 years growing up in west palm . We would go to peanut island . Wow that place has changed since the 60s

[@PSAdventures]

Wow! I imagine it's a lot busier now?

[@nater9524]

Ahoy beautiful souls! I gotta say you guys totally rock!!! I love your channel and the great vibes and energy you both resonate. Enjoy your trip! 💙🌎💙🕉️

[@PSAdventures]

Hello Nate! Thank you so much for the love! We try our best to stay positive even in some stressful situations but it wasn't too hard with all the beauty around us with the clear water! Thanks so much for watching! 😊

[@nater9524]

Ahoy! Thank you for replying back to me! It’s a great honor to have you guys to explore with. I also travel all around the county and world but never thought about blogging it but after watching you two beautiful souls I think I might give it a try! Remember no situation is permanent and will always change as long as you keep a positive mind cos a negative one will never produce a positive outcome or result! 💙Love and ☮️Peace to both of you! 💙🌎💫

[@miamiwax5504]

This is my fave place in South Florida. A lot of people don't even know about it.

[@PSAdventures]

We don't live too far away and hadn't heard of it before about a year ago. So surprising! Definitely a fun spot to enjoy over the weekend! 🌊

[@HeatherManning]

This is awesome! I’ve been trying to explore Florida outside of my current Central Florida home and your channel has inspired me to step out more and explore!

[@PSAdventures]

That's so awesome Heather! Florida has so many incredible spots and Central Florida specifically is such a cool place to live for outdoor adventure. We're so happy you're loving our videos! Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@tracyguenther4547]

me too!

[@Mancamp1000]

These two women are quite the adventures they sure get around

[@PSAdventures]

Oh my goodness...😂😂😂

[@nycstandsup]

🗽😂

[@denniss3980]

I use to live in that area 40 years ago, and the island and surrounding area has totally changed

[@PSAdventures]

We can only imagine! Most of Florida has seen dramatic changes in recent decades. We treasure Florida's natural lands and parks and hope they are available for others to enjoy for a long time. We enjoy them greatly! 🥰

[@joerampley1562]

Enjoying your videos. More and mor.

[@PSAdventures]

Thank you so much! We're so happy you're enjoying our adventures!

[@AncientSecretz]

Ty for posting. ❤

[@PSAdventures]

Your welcome! We're happy you enjoyed it! ❤️

[@Patrick-yh5yd]

No place better. Thank You.

[@PSAdventures]

It's such a cool place! We were wondering why we hadn't been there before. We'll definitely be back! 😊🌊🏝️

[@MadamRose326]

Another great video guys! Beautiful area! Interesting to see the overcrowding of Florida hasn't missed any areas at all.

[@PSAdventures]

We're so happy you love it Jennifer! Peanut Island definitely reminded us of some of the other popular islands in the central Florida area that are more party islands. There was a ton of people but since we were on our own paddleboard it still felt like we could enjoy it by ourselves. The boat ride in the next video definitely got us out away from the crowds. It's a gorgeous area with really beautiful water!

[@vs123]

Underwater beautiful

[@PSAdventures]

Thanks! It was surprisingly clear for the East coast of Florida!

[@nostrilnick]

Reminds me of snorkeling in St. John, although a good bit busier. I miss it, need to get back down there.

[@PSAdventures]

Ooh! St. John is so nice! The water here at Peanut Island is actually surprisingly clear, especially at high tide. Planning another snorkeling trip? 😄

[@pedropereira3394]

I go there every weekend paddle boarding with my pup Bear lol so sad I missed you guys!!

[@PSAdventures]

That would be so awesome to be able to go there every weekend. What a dream! It's too bad we didn't run into you! You live in a beautiful area!

[@michilove942]

Thank you so much for sharing details on this beautiful place.. 💖 I want be like you guys when I grow up

[@PSAdventures]

Aww! 😄 Our pleasure! We're glad you liked it!

[@TheDocalphabet]

great snorkeling area was there last week, May 23 2023

[@PSAdventures]

Definitely! Right next to the island is nice and even along the rocks that lead out of the inlet. Such a cool area! Thanks for sharing! 🐠🌊

[@KIWI_ADVENTURES]

Nice informative video! Thanks for sharing, next time i will take you on my boat.

[@PSAdventures]

Wow! That would be amazing! We'd love to go back and enjoy Peanut Island again. It's such a cool area with a lot of great snorkeling! ⛵🐠😊

[@kerrydennard4921]

On the job this morning just got my route kind of stressed me out so I'm watching your videos to relieve my stress you guys are a game changer for me I'm normally a positive person but sometimes everybody needs a little help thank you for your content keep being wonderful more videos of the van I can't wait to get one have a great day

[@PSAdventures]

We're always so happy you love our videos Kerry! Keep up the positive outlook! There's a lot in life to be thankful for and beauty all around that goes unnoticed. It's tough grinding it out but as long as you're making your life better, you're moving in the right direction. 💓

[@calukimbo9994]

I used to swim to Peanut Island from my house when I was a kid.

[@PSAdventures]

Whoa! That's amazing! Did you literally swim to it? How was the boat traffic in those days? We can't imagine trying to cross the channel!

[@calukimbo9994]

@@PSAdventures Hi yep I swam over - sometimes with a mask and snorkel. The boat traffic was light and didn't present much of a danger. There was hardly ever anyone on the island except for may a boat or two. The 'cudas staring up at me from the sunken boilers made me a little nervous, but you know as kids we felt pretty invincible.

[@filomenaregan1537]

I Love Peanut Island, we took the ferry over from Singer Island. The island certainly is a fun place and the water is beautiful. Nice to see you feature snorkeling in the crystal clear water. The fish are amazing. I think part of the island use to be a bunker or hideout for President Kennedy in case of war?

[@PSAdventures]

Whoah that's awesome that you got to get over to Peanut Island. We couldn't believe how beautiful it was and were so shocked by all of the fish! We didn't think there would be that much fish with so many people in the water. If that's true that would be an interesting history fact! Thanks for sharing Filomena!

[@clarencehopkins7832]

Excellent stuff bro

[@PSAdventures]

Thanks so much Clarence! So glad you're enjoying our videos!

[@sugarlien]

wow, it's a "tiring show"!! LOL I am tired just watching it.(nice though as always) I'd be on the board enjoying the sun like you did. ^^

[@PSAdventures]

There was a serious party going on! 😎 We don't usually go where tons of people are but it's fun to see what all the excitement is about. And then hop on the paddleboard to get away for a little R&R. Ha! 🌊😌

[@richardschneider4775]

I have been to Peanut Island but I think it was a on a state park side. I went with family from West Palm Beach on a hokey boat tour including the local lore of who's who in the ownership of the very impressive waterfront homes we passed Through. It seems JFK had a few Tet a Tet meetings nearby but hush hush no more. Spielberg Barrymore several rock roll musician palaces a well known home that looked like Fort Knox also Pirate ship in dock also owned by rock star. The beach was less crowed than your place. Shaded with picnic tables. I had the best snorkeling experience in my life right there. We brought some stuff to crumble in the water and the fish were abundant. A large ray swam through .Shocking I have snorkeled in Vietnam Bahama Dominican Republic Colombia all not as great as the first only time on Peanut Island.

[@PSAdventures]

Wow 💗 Thanks for sharing your awesome experience at Peanut Island! The water can be so amazing clear in South Florida. The trick is to catch the tide on the way in. When the tide is going out, it can take some of the murky river waters with it and makes the water look a little more cloudy. Especially wonderful that you saw a large ray!

[@realityoverland3180]

That is close to where I live nice place to cool off after a day of fishing

[@PSAdventures]

Wow you live in a beautiful area! I think we'd be going to Peanut Island all the time if we were closer to it. What a cool spot! 🌊

[@Theowlhousefan20]

Same, I live in west palm and I go to peanut island almost every weekend with my family

[@freemangriffin4953]

Yay! Another wonderful adventure! Peanut Island looks gorgeous! Clear waters, fascinating sea fish - just beautiful! (: I let out a big "MMMM" when I saw your curry!!!! Are those tall buildings in the distance in Palm Beach?

[@PSAdventures]

Hello Freeman! It's so gorgeous in this area with such clear water! From the view of the island looking out at the channel, Palm Beach is on the right (or south). When you're on your way to The Keys, definitely check out the West Palm area! you'll love it!

[@lisamarie1280]

Wow! I'll have to check that out! I'm in NE Fla with a kayak and so could easily make an overnight trip out of it (unless I can also luck into meeting some random people with a power boat the next day too 😃). Looking forward to seeing how the next day turns out! Have fun!

[@PSAdventures]

You would definitely love it Lisa! There's a lot to see around that area especially since you can go farther in a kayak. Make sure to bring an anchor since there's so many places that you could just hang out in shallow water. We really got lucky when the couple on the boat invited us aboard! We were so surprised but always have to jump at the chance to go on a boat. Ha! Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@kerrydennard4921]

Good morning guys well I'm working Saturday LOL and I needed my Paul and Sarah fix:-) you guys make the day go so well keep doing what you're doing seeking Saturdays have a great day

[@PSAdventures]

Good morning Kerry! Happy Saturday to you too! 😁 Sarah is so close to getting done with the next video. It's a good one! We're always happy to keep you entertained. Haha! Have a great day! 😊

[@kerrydennard4921]

You guys are great always put a smile on my face thank you so much

[@tinadelacruz3094]

I love your content so much!!! You guys are just awesome! Thanks for inspiring us! Are you guys ever going to tent camp again? Probably not 😂😂 cause you have your van! But I really love your tent videos.. have you every thought of getting a pup? That would be one lucky pup with all your adventures

[@PSAdventures]

Wow! Thank you so much for the love Tina!! We've felt a little spoiled in the van lately but will definitely be tent camping again. We were actually just talking about how tent camping is much more immersive since you can hear all of the sounds at night and the morning and feel the weather a lot more. That's a good reminder since we need to upgrade our tent! It basically fell apart when we were tent camping in the Keys and it rained on us. We love little dogs but probably wouldn't get one since it would make travel a little more difficult. We have a lot of plans for the future. Thanks so much for watching! ❤️

[@PSAdventures]

Definitely try the snorkeling! Peanut Island is a great place for water adventures ☺️

[@DonnasAdventures]

The city marina is where I car camp when I go diving. ;).

[@PSAdventures]

Nice! We might have seen you that day! On our morning breakfast walk, it was cool to see the divers getting ready in the marina. Is the diving good there? Maybe we'll have to get back into diving. It's been years! 😅

[@DonnasAdventures]

@@PSAdventures I was thinking the same. You should. We live in the perfect place for Diving. Blue Heron Bridge is the best place to start back up. Let me know if your interested in going. I would love to meet up with you guys again.

[@carolyn_s]

Oh man what a fun place that looks like! I can't wait to see your next snorkeling adventure!

[@PSAdventures]

It's such a beautiful place to explore! We were surprised at how many fish we saw so close to the shore with so many people. We're so happy you're enjoying Carolyn! ❤️

[@coltonhafford3673]

love to call that area my home

[@PSAdventures]

What a beautiful area you live in! We'd be there all the time in the summer if we lived closer. So awesome!

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

Thanks so much for this video on Peanut Island! My wife and I live about a mile from there on the Palm Beach Inlet and love being so close. Look us up the next time your are in the area and we can check out some more really cool snorkel spots locally.

[@PSAdventures]

Wow thank you so much for the invite! You guys live in a very beautiful area. We'd be there every weekend if it was closer. We'll have to remember that when we're coming back through. We hope we did your area justice in portraying it! 😊

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

@@PSAdventures You sure did. You guys are awesome! Have a great week.

[@Auriasis]

Wow it's never been that crowded when I've been there You should try Phil Foster park under the bridge. Parking and snorkling is free. Man made reefs and lots more variety than Peanut.

[@PSAdventures]

There was a serious party going on at Peanut Island. Wow! It was definitely something to experience, but not if you want a quiet relaxing place to enjoy nature. Haha. We'll still be back for sure though. It was a lot of fun! 🌊

[@slingosl]

I hope you enjoyed thr trip. This is my hometown. I love to see how people enjoy Riviera Beach despite our bad reputation

[@PSAdventures]

We loved it down there where you live! There's so many great places to enjoy down there especially Peanut Island! We hadn't heard anything about a bad reputation and even a bunch of good things about the island. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@damicothebest]

Bad reputation? Why is it bad, I wanna take my girlfriend and I here next month 😅

[@PSAdventures]

I know right? I always think of that area with a good reputation. 😆

[@bocabec6744]

When you see iron bars on the windows and doors of a neighborhood, it kind of makes you wonder. The area needs to clean up its act. Too many gangs and too many homeless people sucking off the system.

[@marcusmagellan]

It’s like a little Caribbean island in mainland USA ❤

[@PSAdventures]

Yes! We were kind of surprised we hadn't heard of it before! Have you been?

[@marcusmagellan]

@@PSAdventures yes, I’ve heard of Peanut Island but never had seen videos that close up and clear. Wonderful video from Adventures for sure! ❤️

🐠The yellow and black striped fee'ish are sergeant majors🐠

[@PSAdventures]

We'll have to remember that next time. The first thing that comes to mind is zebra fish. Haha! 😆🐠

[@barefoottravelsfl6970]

To be honest I used to swim over to it alot even before they built the docks out further 😂 than be to lazy to swim back always had to call someone with a boat to come get me

[@PSAdventures]

Haha! Wow that would be a bit of a swim but definitely doable! I'm sure after a few drinks though it'd be a good idea to grab a boat ride. That must have been quite an experience back then!

[@jorbedo]

We did the same adventure, awesome. Any other places in Florida where you can have that much fun?

[@PSAdventures]

Awesome! Loved Peanut Island! We'd say it's definitely unique. ❤️

[@tracyguenther4547]

I love all your adventures and your vibe. I have seen people post about paddling here and I was wondering about it. I'm glad you all shared this video. Thank you and I really want to add this to my list for this summer's adventures. Were there too many boats to cross the channel or it's not that bad?

[@PSAdventures]

Thanks for the love! We're glad you're here! Peanut Island was an amazing experience, and we thought it was completely do-able by paddle. We waited for a few minutes to let a string a boats pass, and then we made a run for it. 😎

[@kerrydennard4921]

Hey guys it's me LOL I always revisit your old videos it occurred to me how the world are you guys traveling in this heat with no AC in the back of the van of course

[@PSAdventures]

Hey Kerry! That's a good question especially back at Peanut Island. When we filmed this it was hot! We had the roof fan and we also had a regular plug-in fan that we put near the bed and ran it all night long. Now we actually have a 12 volt fan that folds out right to the bed so it's way cooler now! If it was even hotter then we could even use the plug-in fan. The fans take way less power than an A/C would! In the daytime though we can turn the van on and run the A/C in the cab. We hope you're doing well!

[@kerrydennard4921]

You guys are awesome and super tough :-) 💪 can't wait for the next video

[@PSAdventures]

@@kerrydennard4921 Well then you'll be excited to hear the new video is coming out in about 30 minutes! 😍

[@kerrydennard4921]

Oh that's super cool me and the missus received here after working hard on the couch it's the best time now we get to watch the best people together LOL sounds corny but that's thank you so much

[@christinejohnson7304]

Solar exhaust fan might help cool you guys down in the van

[@PSAdventures]

Thanks for the suggestion Christine! We have a roof exhaust fan that works nice to cool the van off but since it gets super hot here we also just installed a 12 volt swivel fan and also have one that plugs in! Can never have too many in Florida! 😆🔥🌡️

[@stevesidare2493]

Hiya folks. I'm considering a Transit van in the future and would like to know where you got your foam mattress (most important), and maybe a few other things. Where did you get it, and do you have a list of where you got things?

[@PSAdventures]

Thanks so much for the question Steve! We actually bought our van already built out by another couple. We'll be putting together a list in the future but we'll have to find that out in case we ever need to replace it! We've heard a lot of people get their mattresses off Amazon can cut them to size. We've loved the Transit so far though. It's awesome! Good luck on finding the van you love!

Thanks for the question! We actually use several different cameras when we're filming our episodes but for this video it was a GoPro. Here's all the different gear we use in case you're interested! psadventures.net/gear/

[@barefoottravelsfl6970]

They used to have free camping on the west side of the island but there's not enough beach anymore 😢 that's back when it was legal to drink out there too so it was wild I miss those days

[@PSAdventures]

Oh that's interesting that there used to be more wild camping there. It looked pretty developed except for that massive empty spot in the middle of the island. That must have been a cool experience back then!

[@RK-de5wg]

Just an fyi, a Publix sub is called a “Pub-Sub!” So, if you want to sound like u live in Florida,….it’s “PubSub!” 😂😂

[@PSAdventures]

😂😂😂 Yes! We must not have the Florida lingo down yet. Haha! Pub-Subs are the BEST. We've taken those on so many adventures!

[@kristelmunoz7072]

[@PSAdventures]

Hey there! We launched from the Riviera Beach City Marina. There's even an easy unloading area that we will be sure to use next time!

[@floridian3757]

You guys missed the bunker in the island

[@PSAdventures]

Oops! Yep, we've since learned about the bunker. 😅 It was probably more fun in the water anyway. Have you been inside that bunker?

[@michilove942]

Would you guys think this would be ok to kayak with our kids ? They are 8and 7. We have our own kayaks

[@PSAdventures]

That's a great question! We did see children on other kayaks, so it seems do-able. We wouldn't recommend that children have their own kayaks though, unless you're really confident in their kayaking skills, because of the channel with high boat traffic that we crossed to get to the island.

[@pyrocl0]

Did you take the kids? We are planning to do it next week.

[@michilove942]

@@pyrocl0 yes!!! We.did kayak and the boat ride.. it was good but go very early and leave early.. we almost catched the rain during.. thankfully when we arrived it was pouring.this was mid june

[@PSAdventures]

Haha! We had considered getting on of those 12 volt plug in inflators for the paddleboard but haven't gotten around to it yet. We also thought the exercise would be good for us. It's a little tough when it's hot out though. Great idea!

Peanut Island is West Palm Beach not near

[@PSAdventures]

That's a tough one! It's right in the middle of West Palm, Singer Island, and Riviera Beach. Such a cool spot! 🌊😊

[@Keria115]

Good job for the video it was good guys !but I just went to it and it was horrible it felt like a swamp lake kinda full of rocks even though we see them and the water is the same thing like any other beach just at shore I is a bit clear this is good for people who like rocks , cold water and for rather short people for like 4.5 feet or 4.2 cause then you a grown up there because it is not deep at all! It is deep for people who are 4 .1 or 4 feet if your taller than that then you have to sit on the floor. And another thing is the boat is such a lie because the island it right there but they d a route that is longer so you think it is super far away and that to make you think that your going to a place that is the best place ever! But it is right in front of your face and I am referring that you should not come here and waste time and money

[@PSAdventures]

Thanks for the report! When we went the water was very clear. That might actually make sense though because I think when we went it was high tide so all of the clear ocean water came rushing in. At low tide I think all of the dark stuff from the river goes rushing out and make the water ugly and dark. We'll have to keep that in mind next time we go! Thanks for watching!

West Palm Beach is ok but it's nothing like Miami or Hallandale Beach its nothing really to do up there living there was boring, I rather stay in Hallandale Beach or Miami, or Hollywood.

[@PSAdventures]

It's hard to go wrong just about anywhere in Florida. There's so many tropical places to explore!

[@mach183]

Miami is trash !!! It’s dirty and the tourist have ruined it ,,,, peanut island alone made me buy a house in Florida and that’s not even the main attraction however west palm is a last minute trip idea as I am moving to the fort pierce area (I’ve been told it’s ghetto but I will be living in a new construction area by Walmart )
