I've been to Peanut Island. A nice quiet park accessible only by boat. NO cars. A place to go and do nothing but sit in a beach chair and watch boats go up and down the Intracoastal.

There is a secret bunker on Peanut Island that was for President J.F. Kennedy.  It was built just before the Cuban missile crisis for JFK when he was at the family estate in Palm Beach. There always was a boat on standby when he was here that could whisk him away in case of danger some 65 years ago.

Hola Koindog...! Thank you very much for the information about Peanut Island and JFK.

Very interesting.  Looking now at the Island it appears to be shaped for a hidden bunker.  The only info Alt Heron found was that the island is a manmade island.
