Treasure Island Beach

Beautiful beach and absolutely beautiful side of town. Treasure island never ceases to amaze me. From the cleanliness of the roads and beautiful skyline to the overall look of the buildings. Walking around the beaches and resorts just seem to be relaxing and serene. I always enjoy my time at treasure island

It’s a beachin good Time! Sandfilled fun just a great place for everyone to enjoy the water or even just build a sand castle. Come spend the day plenty to do beachside…

I was very impressed with this beach. Parking, restrooms, and showers to wash off the sand are easily accessible. Parking is charged by the hour, $ 1.50, I believe.
Everything is really clean, which is a huge relief. Several garbage toters are located throughout on the beach. So there is no excuse to not throw away garbage and I honestly did not see one cigarette butt or beer can, thankfully.
The beach is very wide and spacious, which is really nice. It’s absolutely gorgeous and in a great location. Within walking distance to a Publix (across the street), various shops, and restaurants. My only regret: I should have taken more pictures!

Treasure Island Beach is beautiful and a terrific place to collect a couple of perfect seashells!

Nice white sand beach! We took a boat here and docked it across the road from a hotel on this beach. The hotel are has an outside bar with some good drinks as well as a few snack items. Plus they have a large pool for use and lots of lunge chairs to relax on while taking in some rays.
The beach has areas that rent jet skis, and other fun water adventure items for a bit of a high price, but I guess it’s more touristy and they can get higher rates, haha.
Overall this is a nice and clean beach, lots of places to lay out, and plenty of trash cans around for debris. Good way to spend a day doing nothing but relaxing with hot sand between your toes, and a cold drink in your hand.

Beach was gorgeous! Very quiet, nothing too crazy happening. White sand beach, semi clear water. Parking was $ 2 per hour, but you’re probably bound to find someone who is heading out and willing to pass on their parking pass. They also have a snackbar that serves basic food (hamburgers, hot dogs, etc.) Everything else was pretty great!

I have had so many great memories on Treasure Island!!! It is the best beach around. Johns Pass nearby and lots of sand and fun!!! I love it!

Very nice, spacious beach. The waters aren’t as nice as Clearwater or Miami beach, and the sands are more mixed with dirt, but overall still a good time. I would recommend this place for romantic dates.

Beautiful beach. Public parking close by. Its very convenient to see the Dali museum and dine at Ceviche. Made for a really great day! The water seemed quite clean and a hot Saturday in August it wasn’t too crowded.

Lots and lots of shells. Clear beach.
Snack bar, shower and bathrooms located at main beach access

loved this beach, came here randomly in the evening. Watched the sun set with a perfect view not crowded at all. the sand was kind of solid but cool. The first time I went all the way in the water. I had fun on this day. Even found a sea shell with the little creature inside. they made me feel guilty and through him back. Lot of shells on this beach I’ll be back Perfect evening and it was a Saturday

Not the prettiest beach, but it’s still a pretty fun beach with Caddy’s Bar & Grill, Sloppy Joes, Gators, and John’s Pass next door. Many of the hotels on this beach are only 2 stories tall so if you stray from the Caddy’s Sunset Beach, it won’t be too busy. It is legal to bring and consume your own adult beverages that were not bought at a beach bar here as long as you aren’t within the cones for Caddy’s Beach. Caddy’s usually has a live band or some good music playing and a pretty good crowd. You can see great sunsets from here. A lot of people complain that parking for Caddy’s is $ 10 now but I got lucky and got a spot down the road for free. Just north of St Pete beach, I used to come here to Caddy’s a lot. Now Postcard Inn on St Pete beach is the go to spot for the locals. Just walking distance from the northern most end of the Treasure Island beach, Gators on the Pass has an awesome University of Florida Gators Museum and is a great spot to watch Gators games on the water with a view of Johns pass marina from across the water. They have hippie drum circle parties on Sundays here for sunset kind of like in Siesta Key /​Sarasota beach. North of Treasure Island is Madeira beach, then Redington Beach, then Indian Rocks Beach, then Belleair Beach, and then Clearwater beach. You can just take Gulf blvd all the way up!

Treasure Island is not the most beautiful beach in Florida but it is a fun one.
The sand isn’t the softest, but it is a large beach and a far walk through the sand to the water’s edge so by the time you get to the water, you will be glad the sand wasn’t softer and more sinkable. The water isn’t very clear but the many businesses along the beach work together to keep this beach clean. It is home to the kite festival (which it totally awesome). It is close to many restaurants, hotels and shopping which makes it a fun place to spend the weekend.

Really nice place, water got pretty warm around 3pm. Good for families and kids water level stays low, small waves and lots of shells. Still pretty place to relax, no lifeguard

This is a very long beach and the beach at the southern end is called Sunset Beach. This review does not include Sunset Beach which is on Treasure Island south of the intersection of Gulf Boulevard and Blind Pass. From the beach side there is a small pavilion which marks the change. By the time you get to Caddy’s, walking south, you are at Sunset Beach.
Some of the other reviews mention soft sand but this is not a consistent feature. In many areas the sand has small broken pieces of shells. So don’t expect to go barefoot in these areas. However the sand is free of shell debris within 30 feet or so the waterline in all areas.
The beach never feels crowded because in most areas it’s very wide. Except at the extreme north and the southern area near Sunset Beach it is usually 300 feet or so from the parking area to the waterline.
The lack of crowding is partially due to the fact that many of the motels on the beach are old two story mom and pop types which can hold only a few guests compare with a modern high rise.
Although there are chair and umbrella rentals, and a water slide, the area doesn’t feel over commercialized but neither is it a near natural state beach like Honeymoon Island for Fort DeSoto.
Parking prices are $ 1.25 — $ 2.00 an hour depending on location. There are a few free parking spots, probably fewer than 100. However there is a trade off if you are lucky enough to get a free spot in that they tend not to have restrooms or beach showers nearby.
It is not much of a party spot since the town banned daytime drinking on weekends and major holidays. Beachgoers tend to be people from the motels or locals interested in getting a tan, playing in the water, or walking the beach for exercise.
Generally this is a beach without any extremes, meaning for most people it doesn’t have any outstanding strengths or irritating weaknesses. Still, I’m giving it 4 stars for overall pleasantness as most people will find it more than acceptable.

Loved it! Lot’s of great restaurants near by, if you’re lucky you can get free parking, and plentiful sandy area to walk on. There were various people playing all kinds of beach sports ranging from volley ball to shuffle board, and the water was gorgeous. It just seemed like this beach had more accommodations if you’re looking to spend time in the water.

Beautiful and Serene and I loved it so much I left Dallas after 14 years and moved here.

Well, Treasure Island beach is pretty nice, but it’s definitely not my favorite beach in the Bay area.
I’ve been a few times and it seems to be a little bit busier than the other beaches I prefer going to (Madeira/​Redington/​Indian Rocks) and it seems like the beach itself is super pushed out so you have to walk quite a ways to get there.
The beach itself is very nice though — the sand feels good between your toes and the sound of the water crashing around you is always a welcome background noise for any napping.
I’d come here if I was looking to do an afternoon of lunch and then the beach because there are quite a few restaurants nearby, but it’s not the secluded kind of beach I’d be looking for if I wanted to spend a long time in peace.

Maybe I am biased because this is the closest beach to my house and the beach I have frequented more than all others, and most importantly it has BYOB… C’mon that fact itself makes Treasure Island an AWESOME Beach.
This beach is a very wide as in when you park in the parking lot you have to walk a long way to get to the water. I really like the wide beaches because they feel more remote and isolated.
There are many different parking lots and some are free. It usually is not too difficult to park unless there is a special occasion like the 4^th of July Fireworks (which were very impressive this last year — 2014).
Treasure Island also has a reputation for having a wicked drum circles on Sunday at dusk. While I’m not into drum circles a whole lot, my father is quite enthusiastic about them and he was definitely impressed when he came to see the drum circle on Treasure Island. Even if you’re not too interested in drum circles you should definitely check this one out because it is an experience there are lots of artsy people having a great time.
Treasure Island has a lot to offer, but the most important is the sunsets, like the rest of the Florida Gulf Coast, Treasure Island has spectacular sunsets. The extra wide beach space allows you to lay out a towel away from the crowd and the BYOB makes this a very cheap beach to have a brew on (just remember, no glass).

Don’t get me wrong, I love beaches, but this one was just okay to me. What I didn’t like, well I know it’s the ocean, and I can’t help but be frightened that it’s the sea life’s home, not mine. Well I was in the water, and I felt something. Don’t know what it was. I hope it wasn’t the Loch Ness monster or something because I got freaked out and ran so fast out of the water. I don’t run but I sure did, and I didn’t put my feet on the ground. I have been stung by a sting ray before. Never again, no way. And why were all the pigeons by the shore. I hate those birds. No people, just birds. I moved to a side where there were more people. It was okay, but there sure were a bunch of weird scary drunk people. I had to move on. There’s a parking lot w bathrooms and showers. 1.50 per hour. Drive down a few blocks and you won’t have to pay but it may be a deserted beach filled with dumpster picking pigeons, and Loch Ness monster like creatures in the water.
But just a reminder, it’s the beach. All should be happy and pretty.

super toller langer Sandstrand, viele Wassersportmöglichkeiten, gute Motels und auch preiswert.
Restaurant in Hülle und Fülle.

Der schönste Strand in der zivilisierten Welt. aber psst. nicht weitersagen, damit es so schön leer bleibt.
