Treasure Island is a unique city on the central Gulf Coast of Florida, part of the Gulf beaches of St. Petersburg and Clearwater. The town is actually a peaceful island that is 3.5 miles long, with a slow, gentle lifestyle. Driving through the city is like going back in time to the 50s, where you will see several preserved 50s style mid-century Modern structures including motels and vintage signs. Three Art Modern causeway bridges have become eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, reminding visitors of old retro “roadside” Florida. Not many places like it are left in the state today. Though quiet and relaxing, Treasure Island also has beach activities, fine dining and lots of shopping. Historic John’s Pass is just four miles away and offers deep-sea fishing excursions and day cruises. All types of outdoor recreation are available on Treasure Island, such as swimming, shelling, sunning, snorkeling, golf, parasailing and more. Treasure Island is known for its sport kite competition in January and its Taste of the Beaches food festival in April. A weeklong Pirate Days celebration takes place during the 4th of July weekend. From Treasure Island, it’s just a short drive to the St. Petersburg Pier and Harbor, and Orlando and Disney World are a 90-minute drive away. However, with its’ dazzling white sandy beaches and gorgeous sunsets – you may find it hard to ever leave the island once you’re here.
