    How can you rate a beach bad. The beach is perfect. I came to Treasure Island Beach a couple weeks…read moreago and brought a friend from out of town. They had the sand sculptures up and it was amazing. Truly beautiful and incredible to see in person. The beach itself is clean, well kept, and absolutely gorgeous. Parking was not too hard to find and it was reasonably priced, which is always a plus. You can also tell they really cleaned up well after the hurricane. Everything looked great and it was such a nice place to spend the day. I will always recommend this beach.

    For me, treasure Island Beach ended up being more irritating than relaxing. It's not the worst…read moreBeach I've ever been to, but it definitely doesn't live up to its reputation and my overall experience was underwhelming with an air of pretension. Paying for parking immediately. Set the tone, especially since there's nothing particularly special about this beach. On top of that, I didn't realize until after I paid for parking that it's not dog friendly, which feels ridiculous for such a wide open public space. Sand, I did venture out for a while and the sound was ultra fine which super annoying. The views are okay and it wasn't crowded which is nice but now I know why. Most of the people I saw were much older and were fully dressed walking on the pathway and not really utilizing the beach. There are so many beaches in Florida. I'm not sure why anyone comes here. Nothing stood out or made us want to stay or really justified all the inconveniences. This beach is just meh and if you're close by ok but definitely not worth going out of your way for.

    Mother's Day Madeira Beach…read more May 2026 We waited until later in the evening to finally walk out onto the beach after the Florida heat cooled down enough for us to enjoy it safely. The Gulf was is so beautiful at this time of the day , the breeze felt soft against our skin, and the fine white sand stretched endlessly beneath our feet. My mother is in her 80s now, and as we walked slowly together along the shoreline, I found myself thinking quietly... how many more days... months... or years do I have left with her? Life is so precious. Time moves faster than we all realize. Being able to spend quality time with my mother is a rare and precious gift.. moments like this at the beautiful ocean with the sound of the waves crashing along the shoreline... the warmth of the sunset wrapping us with tactile and visible heat .. At this moment in time I cherish every single moment I have with her. Nothing is forever

Gorgeous scenery, never ending blues that fade into pure white sands, beach-houses so spectacular the design cognoscenti applaud for their visuals gleaming in the sun kissed backdrop of "La Florida" The Land that Ponce de León claimed for his king and faith, naming it "La Florida" AKA "Feast of Flowers." OuiOui. What a beautiful feast indeed, non-commercialized, natural, secluded, what seems to be a never ending dream.. a paradise, as far as the eye can see, never crowded. Keep walking, ponder life's journey, then, keep going.. breathe in the sea air, you become "elated." To walk or tread on air is to feel "elated." Every breath you take, every step you make, walking, breathing, free flowing breathing, living in the moment, breathing in the Madeira beach sea air, breathing in the precious spark of life, inhale, exhale, the name of God, reminds me of the story of the name of God.. "There was a moment when Moses had the nerve to ask God what his name is. God was gracious enough to answer, and the name he gave is recorded in the original Hebrew as YHWH. Over time, we've arbitrarily added an "a" and an "e" in there to get YaHWeH, presumably because we have a preference for vowels. But scholars and Rabbi's have noted that the letters YHWH represent breathing sounds, or aspirated consonants. When pronounced without intervening vowels, it actually sounds like breathing. YH (inhale) ~ WH (exhale) So a baby's first cry, his first breath, speaks the name of God. A deep sigh calls His name - or a groan or gasp that is too heavy for mere words. Even an atheist would speak His name, unaware that their very breath is giving constant acknowledgment to God. Likewise, a person leaves this Earth with their last breath, when God's name is no longer filling their lungs. Being alive means I speak His name constantly. In sadness, we breathe heavy sighs. In joy, our lungs feel almost as though they'll burst. In fear, we hold our breath, and we often have to be reminded to breathe again in order to help us calm down. When we're about to do something challenging, we take a deep breath to source our courage. When you think about it, breathing is giving him praise. Even in the most difficult moments. God chose to give himself a name that we can't help but speak in every moment that we're alive." All of us, everyone, everywhere forever walking, sleeping, breathing, with the Breathtakingly beautiful name of God on our lips. "YH" inhale, "WH" exhale.. breathing, walking Madeira beach, on moi path, "elated" treading on air, Glorifying moi life force, moi Chi, moi Aura. Glorifying YH WH. "Added to my list of top 10 beaches in America." Highest Recommendations.

    Treasure Island. Just the name conjures up images of Robert Stephenson's famous book. This Florida…read moreresort town is definitely a different read. The sunsets are still spectacular. Nature won't let you down. But the actual island is slowly going down hill. The famous white sand beach is still there, but is suffering a little from erosion and now has areas of scrub as well. Recently extra sand was imported in, but 2 back to back hurricanes have spread that new sand everywhere but on the beach. Beware of the parking situation. It's funny that you can park in downtown St Petersburg or at Tampa Airport for less money than on Treasure Island. Unless you are staying at a motel or hotel on the beach that gives you a parking space along with your room expect to pay at least $6 an hour for parking on the beach. Stick to city owned parking lots. The privately owned lots are true tourist traps. At Pirate Square strip mall I paid online and still received a $63 parking ticket! There is no way to contact the company to complain and if you pay within a few days they reduce it to $43 to encourage people to not fight the ticket. Fortunately this lot has been torn down but the damage has been done and other private lots are following suit. Every year the Sand Sculpture competition in November and the Kite Festival in January bring back the festival crowds I remember from decades ago. In between times there is just an overpriced resort town as high end luxury hotels and corporate owned tourist trap store chains slowly replace the quaint little motels and local owned shops that gave the area its unique flavor. You can still find some of the Treasure Island spirit but you have to look hard.

    Went to see the sand art again this year. There did not seem to be as many as last year. The…read morebeach was nice and bought a few things from the vendors. The parking lot at the beach was full so had to park across the street and it was very expensive $28 for two hours.

We came on a saturday and it got pretty crowded but I didn't feel like it was too much, it didn't feel like there were way too many people. We also may have come during jellyfish season? Because they were literally everywhere in the water so I steered clear. I don't know if they sting or not but just something to be aware of I guess, and that's just kind of a thing at a lot of beaches but this seemed more than usual. A lot of people were also smoking in this beach which was really disappointing to me, because there were tons of families with young children around and I just feel like the beach is supposed to be a safe, clean space away from things like cigarettes but I don't know. Something that is nice, though, is you can rent an umbrella and chairs for $25 for entire day, they close at 7pm. I think it's either 10 or $15 for just the chairs. The concession and gift shop part is just awesome. There's live music every saturday and the lady who sings is incredibly talented and a great entertainer. They have so many different food options I was not expecting, and the food was actually decent. Parking is not free but I don't think it's over expensive. Great area!

All of the Gulf views and nice sand as the rest of the Pinellas County beaches, without the crowds of St. Pete Beach and Clearwater Beach, with some parking difficulties but still easier/cheaper than the former and definitely more plentiful than Indian Rocks Beach. Parking has expanded, too- you can now park across the street in the lot adjacent to the CVS and a bit down the road at the now-closed pub. If you don't want to deal with the machines, they're on the WayToPark app. This is the northernmost main access point to Madeira Beach, and tends to have fewer tourists because it's not close to any big hotels. It has a snack bar and gift shop, which is handy if you get hungry or forget something or want a break for some shade. There's sometimes live music, which is nice while you're on the patio but does detract from the beach experience a bit unless you walk a ways. You can rent a chair/umbrella or you can walk a bit past the rentals and sit for free. All that really is extra though-- it's a pretty beach with nice sand and great views, what else do you need?

There were only…read moresix passengers on board, which meant there was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the sunshine. Dalton provided expert commentary about the area, even pointing out a few celebrity homes and yachts along the way. It was a gorgeous ride over to Shell Key, and we even saw a few dolphins along the way. Once on the island, we had about 45-50 minutes to explore the beaches and do a little snorkeling and shell-hunting. The island is aptly named, with rows and piles of shells along its white, sandy beaches. The water was warm and perfect for swimming. Soon enough we were back on board and heading back to the harbor. And that's when the magic happened: dolphins! Following along in our wake, and no doubt attracted to the enthusiastic squeals of one of our dolphin-loving fellow passengers, the dolphins put on quite a show. Even Dalton, who I assume sees a LOT of dolphins, was impressed by how long they followed in our wake and performed jumps and flips for us. It was truly one of the most remarkable experiences of my life! Thank you Dalton and Island Ferry for an amazing and memorable tour and one of the true highlights of our vacation!
