The park itself is 12.62 acres, and covers 700 feet of guarded beach. People who need can borrow a surf wheelchair from the lifeguard, making for easy access to the ocean. The park is open from sunrise to sunset. The beach has outdoor showers and restroom facilities, and near the playground for children aged 5 to 12 years, there is a picnic area with grills and a picnic pavilion, which can be booked by groups.
The 14.62-acre Phil Foster Park is situated on the Lake Worth inlet of the Intracoastal Waterway, and while bathing is possible, this is a place primarily for anglers and boaters. Saltwater fishing in the lagoon is accessible by people in wheelchairs from the large pier and two smaller fishing platforms. It also features a barbecue area with family shelters as well as tables, and has restrooms and outdoor showers. The view of the sunset over the waterway is a special attraction, but the park is only open from sunrise to sunset.
You have to have a boat to get to Peanut Island, but there are water taxis that will take visitors who do not have their own boats. The island itself is situated in the Intracoastal Waterway, and a 1.25-mile paved path follows the contours of the island, making all attractions easily accessible for people in wheelchairs. The path is also lit at night. There are shaded picnic areas with restrooms dotted around the island, and chiki huts near the snorkeling lagoon on the island's southeast side. It is possible to stay overnight at the island, in which case you can enjoy a warm shower. The island has a variety of ecosystems, including tidal ponds, maritime hammocks and mangroves. There are also beaches, which are guarded during the vacation season.
Situated on Peanut Island, the Palm Beach Maritime Museum features the bunker that served as an operations center for President John F. Kennedy to command U.S. troops during the Cuban missile crisis. It has an artificial reef dedicated by then-governor Jeb Bush, and the former U.S. Coast Guard station, which now houses exhibitions and a gift shop. Past exhibitions include artifacts from the Maine, a U.S. battleship sunk in Havana harbor in 1898, an event which provoked the Spanish-American War. The museum is only partly wheelchair-accessible.
