Fodor's Expert Review Palm Beach Maritime Museum

Singer Island History Museum

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Though the main building of the Palm Beach Maritime Museum is found in Currie Park in West Palm Beach, its main treasure—the restored "Kennedy Bunker," a bomb shelter built for President John F. Kennedy, and a historic Coast Guard station—is located on Peanut Island. You can take a guided tour of the bunker through the museum's Peanut Island outpost. The museum also has a nice little gift shop, an outdoor deck on the water, and a lawn where you can play games including horseshoes. To get there, catch a water taxi from Riviera Beach Municipal Marina, but be aware that the boats won't run in choppy waters.
