3rd beach stop exploration. My favorite beach. Beach is not crowded. My kinda vibe. More private…read moreand open. The sunset is absolutely just gorgeous. We ended up taking family photos here. We all fell in love with this beach. Vibe of peace, meditating and mindfulness, and romance. Absolutely stunning beach. Definitely one beach I will return to. Oh my handsome guy, come find me and let's come here! Lol

The Sunset Vista Park & Beach Access Point is located on Treasure Island on the Northern End of…read moreSunset Beach, 400 yards North of Caddys Beach Bar & Grill, off Gulf Boulevard and West Gulf Boulevard across from a large beach parking lot and a 711 Gas Station & Convenience Store. Many locals come to Sunset Vista Beach for a tranquil spot with hassle-free parking to watch the beautiful Florida beach sunsets and enjoy the beach away from all the commotion of Caddy's Beach Bar & Grill. The Sunset Vista Trailhead Park sign gives the back-story for the funding & origination of this park: "Property for Sunset Vista Trailhead Park was purchased with funding from the Florida Communities Trust Preservation 2000 Program, and assistance of the Trust for Public Land. Construction of the Park was funded in part with Natural Resource Damage Funds recovered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for Public Recreational Losses caused by the 1993 Tampa Bay Oil Spill." The Sunset Vista Park has bike racks, showers, 2 long boardwalk walkways for getting to the beach, and a pavilion that provides ample room and seating for those who do not wish to walk down to the beach. There is a 2 mile Beach Nature Trail that winds along Sunset Beach's dunes with display signs telling you about the fragile dune ecology. Treasure islands coastal dunes have 3 vegetation zones. The frontal zone has sea oats, beach sunflowers, railroad vines, beach morning glory, American sea rockets which have tough root systems to help stabilize the dune. In the back dune zone, palmetto, wax Myrtle, cabbage palm, and sea grapes colonize the dune. I was surprised to see that Raccoons live among the dunes and saw some Nice Wild Red Dune flowers in bloom w Yellow Tips! If you're looking for an easy spot to park at Sunset Beach in Treaure Island close to Caddys Beach for only $2 per hour, I highly recommend parking by Sunset Vista Park as it is a lot better option than paying $25 to park at Caddys if the Pelican lot is full. Sunset Vista Park is a great spot to learn about dune and go for a hike or enjoy the beach without a lot of music or people!
