Where to stay in Treasure Island

Mid-island

  • beach
  • walking

The city's beach page says the mid-island stretch has a very wide beach and most of the Gulf-front motels, hotels and condo hotels. It is described as commercial, with restaurants, shops and conveniences within a short walking distance, and it is where a beach trail runs through sea-oat dunes parallel to the shoreline.

Sunshine Beach

  • quieter beach
  • residential

At the north end of the island, next to John's Pass, the beach is narrower and more residential than commercial, according to the city. It describes everything from beach cottages to three-storey homes, with some small mid-century motels, and dunes of sea oats with walkovers to the sand.

Sunset Beach

  • quieter beach
  • fishing
  • strolling

Sunset Beach is the residential southern tip, where Blind Pass meets the Gulf. The city mentions a boardwalk around the tip of the island that is a place for fishing and strolling, and describes the neighbourhood as a quaint one that adds to the island's Old Florida charm.

John's Pass and Madeira Beach

  • waterfront
  • nearby beach town

John's Pass is the channel at the island's north end, carved out by the Great Gale of 1848 according to Wikipedia. Wikipedia places Madeira Beach on the far side of the inlet from Treasure Island, and says the John's Pass entertainment district is on the Intracoastal Waterway.

St. Pete Beach

  • beach
  • nearby beach town

St. Pete Beach is the next beach town to the south, across Blind Pass. Wikivoyage describes it as occupying an island at the southern end of a chain of barrier islands along the Gulf, and says its beaches are easily accessible from public parking at the north, middle and southern points of the island.

Getting around Treasure Island

Two airports are listed for the neighbouring Gulf beach town of St. Pete Beach: Saint Petersburg-Clearwater International and Tampa International. The city's history page says a causeway gave Treasure Island a direct link to St. Petersburg in 1939, and Wikivoyage notes a road across Blind Pass to St. Pete Beach.

Wikivoyage describes the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority's Suncoast Beach Trolley as serving the beach communities from Clearwater Beach to Pass-a-Grille, with connector routes between the coast and downtown St. Petersburg. On the island itself the mid-island area is described as walkable, with a beach trail suited to walking and cycling.

Living in Treasure Island for longer

The city's beach page describes the mid-island area as the commercial part of the island, with restaurants, shops and other conveniences within a short walk. Sunshine Beach and Sunset Beach, by contrast, are described as more residential than commercial.

The city's recreation page lists community events at the Community Center and on the beach, including a sport kite festival and a fire-department chili cook-off, and neighbourhood civic associations also hold their own events. The beach page also lists beach wheelchairs and an accessibility mat at the busiest beach access.

When to visit Treasure Island

Wikipedia describes a humid subtropical climate that closely borders tropical, with warm, humid summers and frequent thunderstorms, and drier winters. NOAA's National Hurricane Center says the Atlantic hurricane season runs from 1 June to 30 November.

The city's events page lists an annual sport kite competition and festival on the beach in January, a chili cook-off in February, and a 5K run on the beach in December, alongside neighbourhood holiday events in the same month.

The island is small enough that the main choice is which stretch of beach suits you: the commercial mid-island, the residential Sunshine Beach end by John's Pass, or the quieter Sunset Beach end by Blind Pass. The city was incorporated in 1955 from four towns, and the island lies between Madeira Beach to the north and St. Pete Beach to the south.
