Treasure Island


Even wider than St Pete Beach and more jam-packed with fun-seekers, concessions and motels. Very built up, with lots of public access, volleyball courts and beachside tiki bars, many of which are connected by the Treasure Island Beach Trail – a mile-long, concrete walkway that was revamped in 2013.
