Don’t settle for a mango that’s been imported from the Caribbean or Latin America when we’re growing them right here in Palm Beach County…eat fresh, eat local.

Pack a picnic, bring your snorkeling gear and head to Peanut Island! Accessible only by boat or the Peanut Island Water Taxi…locals love Peanut Island, and you’ll feel like you’ve escaped to the Bahamas for the day.
