Palm Beach Maritime Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:23:34

There's not much to this museum in pleasant Currie Park, except for war buffs who will surely get off on the display of artifacts from the sunken battleship USS Maine . The museum's main attraction is as the place to catch the ferry to Peanut Island, home of the Kennedy Bunker, where typically brilliant Cold War-era advisers decided to build the president's fallout shelter. Here you'll see JFK's decontamination shower, then you can go hiking, snorkeling or even camping on the island.

The ferry comes at 10:00, noon and 14:00 Wednesday through Sunday.
