See all- Snorkel and Beach Day at Peanut IslandPeanut Island Shuttle Boat, Riviera Beach, FL
Join us for a day of snorkeling and beaching at Peanut Island in Riviera Beach, something our group has not done in many, many years.
"Peanut Island is an 80-acre man-made island located at the mouth of the Lake Worth Inlet in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. It was created in 1918 as a result of dredging-related projects. These projects not only formed the island but also created the Lake Worth Inlet and the Port of Palm Beach. Over the years, additional dredging contributed to the island’s growth from a mere ten acres to its current size of nearly 80 acres."
There are no concessions, so bring everything you need for the day, that includes snorkel gear, towel, dry clothes, sunscreen, water, food (no alcohol allowed). In addition to snorkeling, we can stroll around the island and relax on the beach.
We will meet at 9:30 am and purchase tickets for the 10 am shuttle for the 10-minute ride to the island. Round trip shuttle tickets are $25. Shuttle leaves every 25 minutes. Last shuttle back to mainland is 5pm. As we get closer to the date, you may be able to purchase on-line. At the moment, the only ticket sales are for the upcoming weekend. Shuttle Ticket and Info
There is a tiki bar nearby. Maybe we can go for an early dinner and cocktail after our ride back to the mainland.
Hope to see you there!

- Beach Volleyball 101 ClassBeach Pavilion #1, Pompano Beach, FL
This event is a tie in to our normal Saturday volleyball group. Since we usually jump straight into games I know it can be difficult to learn the game. This will be an opportunity to learn the rules and get some instruction on the basics. Whether you've never played before, are looking for a refresher or are just looking to work on your skills I should be able to help you out.
Please bring a pair of thick socks or sand socks as the sand can get very hot. Also bring plenty of water.
**These classes have been filling up every week, but attendance has been hit or miss lately. I do this for free so I ask you to please respect my time and update your RSVP if you can't make it. Frequent No Shows will be banned from signing up for future classes.
