Treasure Island is a barrier island located on the Gulf Coast of Florida, near St. Petersburg. We know it for its beautiful sandy beaches, waterfront views, and relaxed atmosphere. 


The main attraction of Treasure Island is its pristine beaches, which stretch for several miles along the Gulf of Mexico. The wide, sandy shores provide ample space for sunbathing, beach combing, and various water activities.


Sunset Beach, an area of Treasure Island is renowned for its stunning sunsets over the Gulf. Sunset Beach offers a relaxed atmosphere, and we often go to enjoy the evening spectacle.


John's Pass Village and Boardwalk which is just north of Treasure Island is one place we always enjoy.  It is a popular entertainment and shopping area. It features a wide range of shops, restaurants, and water activities, making it a lively spot to visit.


Treasure Island offers a variety of water sports and recreational activities, including jet skiing, parasailing, paddle boarding, and fishing. We have found that many local businesses provide rentals and guided tours.


The Treasure Island Beach Trail, is a scenic trail that runs along the beach, providing a great opportunity for walking, jogging, or biking while enjoying views of the Gulf of Mexico.


Treasure Island has a range of dining options, from casual beach side cafes to upscale waterfront restaurants. The nightlife scene is relatively laid-back, with some venues offering live music and entertainment 


We love that you can find a variety of accommodation options on Treasure Island, including beachfront resorts, vacation rentals, and hotels, providing a range of choices for different preferences and budgets.


Treasure Island is conveniently located near other attractions in the Tampa Bay area, including St. Petersburg with its cultural amenities, museums, and entertainment options.  Connected to the mainland by the Treasure Island Causeway, the island is easily accessible by car. The proximity to St. Petersburg and Tampa International Airport makes it a convenient destination for my family.   


If you're looking for a relaxing beach vacation, outdoor activities, or a lively atmosphere, Treasure Island & St. Petersburg offers a mix of amenities.  This is a beautiful area to explore.
