We feature six local businesses on every beach in this coast — rentals, charters, restaurants, and water sports. One featured slot is $100/month.
Redington Beach is the small town between North Redington Beach and Redington Shores. Gulf Boulevard is the only through road. Public beach access is at the avenue ends; parking is scarce compared with Sand Key or Fort DeSoto. It is a low-rise, local stretch, not a hotel strip. Read more...
John’s Pass is the inlet between Madeira Beach and Treasure Island, with John’s Pass Village on the Madeira side. The village is a boardwalk of tourist shops, fishing charters, and restaurants. The actual beach access is west of Gulf Boulevard, not inside the village itself. Park in the village garage or lots if you are going to the boardwalk or a charter. For the beach, use the public accesses on Gulf Blvd in Madeira Beach Read more...
