Located in the Intracoastal Waterway near the city of Riviera Beach, Peanut Island is an island which is spread over 80 acres. This island has multiple unnamed white-sand beaches. A county-managed park named Peanut Island Park is also present on this artificial island. As an interesting fact, this island is named Peanut Island as it was earlier designated as a prospective shipping station for peanut oil. One of the beaches in Peanut Island is named Natural Areas Beach - this beach has been landscaped in order to remove non-native vegetation and only native coastal vegetation is present on this beach. Breakwaters are present near some of the beaches in Peanut Island.
