- Join us for a day of exploring in Treasure Island and see what makes it one of the absolute BEST Florida Beaches. In fact, it was recently ranked the #16 beach in the entire US (and #6 beach in Florida) by Trip Advisor. Let us be your guide as we show you one of the top Florida beaches and try out some of the best food and drinks that Treasure Island has to offer!
Treasure Island lies just to the north of St. Pete Beach (#1 ranked US Beach) and just to the south of Madeira Beach (#9 ranked US Beach). Treasure Island offers a nice mix between the bustling, more commercialized St. Pete Beach, and the quieter, less commercialized Madeira Beach. In this video, we show you the (nearly empty) beach on a cool, cloudy morning, as well as a much busier beach on a warm, sunny afternoon. The extra wide, world-class beaches make Treasure Island an ideal place for beach-goers who are looking for plenty of space to spread out on the beach.
After spending some time on the beach, we walk across the street to grab coffee and breakfast at the #1 rated coffee shop in Treasure Island. We then walk along the beautiful Treasure Island Beach Trail before we are drawn into a beachfront bar for a beer and a bloody mary. After we finish our drinks, the sun has begun to peak out, and we enjoy some time walking along the beach. After finishing our beach walk, we're both hungry and thirsty, so we head to a local brew-pub, where we enjoy a lunch of gulf shrimp and grouper along with some of the area's best locally brewed beers.
After lunch, we head up the road to an ice cream shop which is actually rated the #1 restaurant in Treasure Island by Trip Advisor. We soon understood why it received the #1 ranking, as the locally made ice-cream and fresh-made waffle cones were absolutely delicious. After finishing up with dessert, it's already getting late. We decide to skip dinner, and head to a hidden beach bar where we cap off the day with an amazing Florida sunset and cocktails.
We hope this video helps to highlight some of the wonderful beaches and establishments on Treasure Island. If you are planning a trip to the area and have any questions, let us know in the comments!

We hope this video helps to highlight some of the wonderful beaches and establishments on Treasure Island. If you were visiting, what would your must stop visit be in Treasure Island? Also, if you are planning a trip to the area and have any questions, let us know in the comments!
We loved Sloppy Joe's Restaurant! Every meal we had there was fantastic. The Publix grocery store in town is also a big plus. They also have liquor.
@@terriesowell1025 Sloppy Joe's is a great spot for food..and the view, we are so glad you enjoyed it. We agree, that having a Publix in the area is also very helpful!
Candy kitchen is the best spot for ice cream on TI
Thank you so much! My family owns Super Scoops and I'm extremely appreciative that you posted this video, it was a great one! If you come back this way, come on in, I think I owe you a free ice cream! :)
We loved having you!
You all sooo sweet ❤ we had such a great experience at Super Scoops!
I (Jamie) still think about how delicious your fudge is!
We will definitely be back :)
Ok after watching to the end I'm dying at the outtakes! 😂😂Thanks for the realness. I was just telling my husband yesterday I enjoyed this channel because you two seemed genuine. Love it!
Thank you sooo much for this comment, it really means a lot to us and it made our day :) I think that was the day I almost lost my phone in the gulf 😆
I'm craving one of those mixed drinks from that tiki bar. They look sooo good! Great video. Glad I watched until the end. "We didn't have pizza!" Made me LOL.
LOL yeah we definitely did not have pizza Maybe a couple too many 🍺 though 😆. We are such suckers for a good tiki bar!
Treasure Island is lovely both when cloudy and when sunny. I love how wide it is, plenty of room to spread out. Thanks for sharing the great views guys!
It really is a very wide beach! Thanks for watching!
Joss Beautifull Sharing
Thank you!
My husband and I vacationed to Treasure Island for my birthday last month. I love everything about the trip. It's a lot of fun things to do there. We had a blast. This video brought back all the fun times
We're so glad to hear you two had a great time and that our video could help bring back some of those memories!
We love Treasure Island and visit from Indiana at least once a year if not more for at least a 7 day vacation. The Bilmar Hotel is the one with the blue dolphin and they have amazing food at sloppy joes and the bilmar beach cafe. Best Gulfshore breakfast sandwich!!! Thanks for a refresh we head out to treasure island next week!
We are happy to hear you get to experience Treasure Island every year, it really is a great choice 😊 way may have to check out the food at the Bilmar Beach Cafe sometime! We hope you have a great visit next week.
Looks like you guys have been going to the beaches often and we are so jealous! Jamie your hat is awesome! 👒😄 Seadog looks like a whole experience, not just beer 🍺 dessert looked delicious!!
Thank you! Yes I am loving my new hat and getting A LOT of use out of it!
Treasure Island looks beautiful! Looks like there is so much space there to spread out. You can't bring alcohol onto any of the beaches near where we live. So that is pretty amazing! Thanks for showing us what makes this beach so popular!
Yeah we've found it quite surprising to hear people from different places talk about how they can't bring alcohol on their beaches. I guess we've just been taking it for granted!
Treasure Island sooo awesome. Never heard of it until a year ago when I visited but will be back this year. The beach is beautiful and there's plenty to do. Great for a couple or family chill vaca.
It really is an awesome beach town, Paul. It is a great combination of lively yet chill!
We went to Sloppy Joe's a few years ago after checking out the beach during the sand building contest. Had a great dinner with our boys and my folks! My disabled momma loved the ADA walkway. Love your videos! Highlighting why we're working on moving down from MN
Sloppy Joe's is great, and we're so happy to hear that your mom was able to enjoy the beach! We hope you are able to move down to sunny Florida sometime soon!
It's a cool place....thanks for sharing with us
We think so too! Thanks for watching, James.
At any given time Florida State Tourism should be reaching out to you both! Love your content. LLWAV!!
LOL wouldn't that be the dream!
My husband and I visit Treasure Island every chance we get! We are bringing our grandson and loved the beach with the bouncy slide. We will have to make sure he gets to try it out. Thanks for sharing.
I couldn't even begin to imagine how much fun I would have had on Treasure Island as a kid. Unfortunately the closest beach was a few thousand miles away! Oh well... we're making up for it in adulthood 😂 Thanks so much for watching!
That Melon colada looked so good, love the jelly shots at sunset too! 😋
Definitely the first time we've experienced sunset jello shots!
Love your videos , from Canada here and can’t wait to visit Madeira Beach and area again soon.....Cheers 🍺🍺
Thanks so much for the kind comment, Rick. We hope you are able to make it back down here sooner than later. Cheers!
My favourite place in the world 😍
It's right up there for us as well. Thanks for watching!
So fun you have Sea Dog down there too! Great beer. We haven't actually been to one of their breweries yet though - that looked fun! And good for you, Jamie: always have to save room for ice cream 👍 Treasure Island looks really pretty!
Yes we would love to visit the original Seadog in Maine when we make it up there someday. I agree 100% on always needing to save room for ice cream!
Thanks for your great vids! We are staying in Madiera beach this summer and can’t wait to explore all the beach areas. You give us so many ideas.
We are so happy to hear that you found our video helpful. Those are our favorite types of comments to receive. We hope you enjoy your time on Madeira Beach, Dave!
Florida has some great beaches. Love your top ones guys.
It sure does. Thanks for the support!
Love us some Florida beaches! Really cool that they allow the plastic cups and cans on the beach, but on a day like you had weather wise we are sure we'd spend a good amount of the day at sea dog. Really cool you can dock your boat there!
Yeah, hard to beat a great brewery with fresh seafood that you can access by boat. So you guys want to go in together on a boat purchase or what!? 😅
Your videos have me so excited for my St. Pete vacation next month! I've been binge watching them. You guys like to do all the things my husband and I like, eat, beach, drink, eat! 😂😂😂
Thanks so much for watching and commenting, we hope the videos do help you plan your visit - the area is so fun with endless options for food, drinks and beach time 😀
I've been visiting Treasure Island for the last 15 years, its my paradise. Foxy's is good for breakfast, cheap, good food and friendly staff. There's a new ice cream store a few blocks down from Super Scoops, next to the filling station, which is really good with more choice. I love walking the beach path and exchanging pleasantries with the locals. Most of these videos go to Caddy,s so was nice to see you show somewhere else.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment, Cindy. We visited Foxy's a few years back and really enjoyed it. We are definitely due for a return visit!
The statue of liberty holding an ice cream cone 😂😂
Yeah that one cracked us up too!
Wow, yet another top US beach, you’re so lucky to be so close to these beaches 😁
Craig is loving the Sea Dog brewery!
Yay for super scoops...those waffle cones looked amazing! Really big as well!🗽🍦😂
Jamie, Glad to see you wearing your hat that you bought in one of your recent videos, love it!
Sunset Jell-O shots 🤩
Yeah making these beach videos is definitely not getting old. We hope that watching them isn't either! I do love the new hat and think I've already gotten my money out of it!
We'd love to have you~ Come by Super Scoops, tell us about this video!
That multi-shaded blue dolphin statue. Want it. Amazing. Oh yeah, the beach is cool, too! 🤣 Seriously, great vid!
We thought it was a pretty cool statue too! And yeah, the beach was alright as well.
Treasure Island is great! Discovered it while beach camping with my girlfriend a few years and loved it. There's a beach tiki bar at the Thunderbird Resort as well. TI has the widest beaches I've ever seen in Florida.
It is a great beach and yes very wide! The only wider beach was a few weeks ago on Marco Island. It was honestly too wide 🤣
Wow
It's so good, ❤️❤️
Best of luck always with
Thanks so much!
Excellent ideas for my next visit there. My friends that live less than an hour from the beach sometimes get a hotel room on a random weekend and when I visit we all hang out there.
How fun! We can't think of a better area to meet up with friends. There is so much to do!
Love this area for restaurants and beach area.
It really is a great spot for both!
Enjoyed seeing this beach! I didn't know breweries were all around FL. I enjoyed seeing the sunset as well! Once it hits May or June I may have to try and check out one of these beaches!
May/June is a great time to visit! The water starts to warm up and the sunsets get even more beautiful!
I use to live there on Treasure Island! Lots of fun and relaxing memories. 😍❤
I bet. We spend a lot of time out on the islands, but have not yet had a chance to live there. We have considered renting out on Treasure Island or Madeira Beach for a year. Perhaps we will sometime soon!
@@Explorcation That sounds like a lot of fun. I bet you guys will love it!👍
I can’t believe this is Tampa’s next door neighbor and never knew about it until I made a visit last year. I was so impressed! There are no High Rises like the Panhandle has which is fabulous!
So true. We really enjoy the beach towns without the high-rises that have a more old-Florida feel!
@@Explorcation What’s really amazing is that Tom Brady lives there!😂
Thank you!! I am here now in treasure island! And from Maine and love sea dog!
That's so awesome. We've been wanting to visit Maine for quite some time, and probably would have by now if not for COVID. We'll definitely be visiting Seadog (and several other breweries) when we do finally make it up there. Enjoy your time in Florida!
Treasure Island beach seems huge..WOW. Did you have the bloody Marries, due to a rough night before ?? HEHEHE, to get your second wind? As we know it is a great drink for a hangover....HEHE. We totally love what you showed, ice cream looked incredible, and to finish of your day at a lovely place for sun-downers.....you cant beat that. Great stuff as always. ONE LOVE
It really is a massive beach. Fortunately the bloody mary was not needed as a hangover cure on this day, although they do serve that purpose quite well!
Excellent video
Thanks!
I really liked the episode today.
So glad that you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support!
Beach walks😉funny you didn't have pizza😜
LOL yeah I think Skylar had one too many beach cocktails by that time!
Nice video thanks you
Thank you for watching, Leonel.
This seems like a perfect day by the beach! I am all about the bloody Mary's - we have something similar here in Canada but we call it a Caesar. The brewery would definitely be a stop on our day - sounds like an interesting flight as well. The food looked so tasty! I can't believe how big those scoops of ice cream were!! I've never tried a melon colada before, sounds interesting. Glad your phone is water resistant!!
We had a Ceasar when we visited Toronto a few years back, and I do remember enjoying it and thinking it was similar to a bloody mary. Yes, so thankful that my phone is water resistant and lived to see another day 😅
As much as we love a sunbathe/swim on a beach. Walking along a moody beach like this one is so refreshing too. It’s pretty much what we’ve done at our local beach all throughout lockdown in the UK 😅
Was there bacon on that Bloody Mary?🥓
Treasure island beach looks so vast and beautiful! Love the vacation attitude, beers at Sea Dog sounds great!
Yes there was bacon in the bloody mary. It was quite tasty. And we agree that walking on a moody beach can be just as enjoyable as swimming/sunbathing.
Jamie I love your shoes, they look so comfortable for walking the beach! I struggle with what shoes to wear for all day comfort while exploring.
Thank you so much! I forgot what shoes I was wearing that day and had to go back and look 😆 they are comfortable for long distances but also easy to kick off to walk in the sand 🙂
Thanks so much for watching!
'we didnt have pizza!' 'oh' lmaooo
LOL yeah Skylar always has pizza on the mind.
RIP Coffee Grounds. We wanted some so bad today!
How sad. It's been a while since we've been out on Treasure Island and we didn't even know they had closed down.
It's amazing, every video you guys end up checking out one of the top features in the United States, so cool that you live that close to so many of them. Crazy to see how different parking spots costs so different ranging from one dollar per hour all the way to $5 per hour. I've always wondered about the inflatable slides and stuff at the beaches and whether it was open to the public or not. Good call on saving room for some ice cream.
Yeah this was the first beach we'd been to where parking varied so much. $5 an hour at Caddy's seemed a bit steep to us, but the lot was packed, so people appear to be happy to pay it!
If you buy Ice Cream at Super Scoops we really don't mind letting you park for an hour or so! We're not picky :) hope we see you!
I would have ordered the lavender honey coffee as well! Mmmmmm... the key lime muffin sounds delicious. I always have room for ice cream as well. You can't go wrong with a fresh waffle cone and home made fudge. Yum! I definitely have a list of restaurants, breweries, and coffee shops to try out when I'm in Florida. Btw, glad you were able to retrieve your phone!
Yes, the phone was retrieved and is still functioning, which was a big relief!
We'd love to have you! -Super Scoops
Just came back from a week-long vacation there. I miss it already!! What a great beach. We stayed at a time share, and it was so low key. Went to Caddy's, Salty Dog Brewing Co., the Shake Shop, Sweet Brewnette (Mad Beach) Frog Pond (St. Pete Beach) and a bunch of other places further out. We had a great time!
Omg, I forgot to mention Broke N Bored up in Redington Shores! I highly suggest the Drunken Shrimp and their lobster roll ain't too shabby either!
We are so glad you had a great time, you hit up some great spots for sure. Thanks for commenting on some of the places you enjoyed :)
Thanks for the suggestion, we haven't been there before!
@@Explorcation Thanks for your suggestions! You guys have excellent videos here- I am getting some great ideas for our next trips to Florida!
@@soxrule74 thank you so much, we are happy to help!
Visit Sunset Beach in Treasure Island. Caddy's & KaTiki are there with Food, drink and dancing...I love to visit St Pete!
Plus take the local Sunset Cruise (Pasadena Blv)
Great suggestions, Robert. Unfortunately we were not yet aware of Ka'Tiki when we made this video, but it has grown to be one of our favorite spots to watch live music. And of course you can't beat a sunset at Caddy's either!
We'll have to give that a try sometime soon.
Starlight Sunset Cruise- Around $25 - lasts around 3 hours...Dancing & diner/drinks available...Best kept secret in St Pete...Boat is like a large yacht...
@@robertgilbert7941 that sounds like a great time!
Caddy's is our go to spot in Treasure Island...being "car people" th logo first drew us in, have you checked out Shrimpy's Blues Bistro....I've always wanted to check it out but haven't made it there yet.
Caddy's Treasure Island is iconic, and for good reason. Like you, we've always wanted to check out Shrimpy's too. We love Cajun food and live music, and we've never heard anything but good things about the place. That said, we still have not made it there for some reason. Someday we may do an updated Treasure Island travel guide video, which would give us a great reason to finally check the place out!
@@Explorcation I know...same here, I keep adding it to my places to stop by list when we head down but we haven't made it there yet either. Terri isn't a big Cajun food fan but I'm sure we could find something on the menu she'd like (chicken is her go to when we're in FL 😁).
this video helped me never to visit treasure island. many thanks
Glad you found the video helpful, Darko. Treasure Island is definitely not for everyone!
Great video! How’s treasure island in December? Planning a trip during the 1st week. 👍
We love the Gulf Beaches in December. The weather is usually great, as the days are normally warm but comfortable and it doesn't rain much this time of year. The gulf waters normally are starting to get quite cold by December though, so if you want to spend time swimming in the Gulf, you may want to consider a month or two earlier.
Treasure Island Beach benefits from some beach erosion from other beaches. It receives the sand lost by some other beaches, so the beach is "deep".
We didn't know that, Mark. Thanks for sharing this interesting information!
You can bring alcohol on the beach?!? I think we live in the wrong place 😂 Honestly so jealous of these amazing beach adventures you guys are having. Thanks for brining us along with you, we are missing the beach a lot right now.
Yeah, the ability to bring alcohol can definitely be a nice perk! Is that pretty uncommon at the beaches in your area?
The city-run snack bar sells it to you, too! TI is the best
I love that we can just pack up a cooler and enjoy the beach!
Great video!
Some ideas for your next Treasure Island video:
1) Dunkin that replaced the coffee shop in this video.
2) Afternoon music behind the Thunderbird and their Tiki bar.
3) Dinner at BRGR next door to the Thunderbird.
4) Or dinner at Middle Grounds
5) show everyone the pirate statue in the park. In the park on Friday, there is a flea market happening where they sell lots of fun stuff.
Thanks for watching and for the suggestions for additional spots to visit, David!
Great video! How’s the weather like in Treasure island or St. Pete beach in october? Is it possible to sunbathe?😅
We love the weather here in October. A little cooler and drier than the summer months, but you can still sunbathe and swim in the Gulf!
We've been there a few times. It is their rainy season, but it never has lasted long when we were there. Temperatures are great!
@@terriesowell1025 you are right, it is still hurricane season, so that sure is something to consider. But during October, when there isn't a tropical storm or hurricane, the it beautiful.
I remember when parking was free. Boy how time and local greed have taken over.
Yeah, free parking would sure be nice! Thank you for watching, Ed.
If you get Ice Cream at Super Scoops, it is. Sadly, the City of TI has taken over and charges parking fees, not too much, at every "city" parking lot.
Im a bit put off by the cost of parking. IS there a way around it? Is there a day pass for a local tram that you can avoid the parking! thanks.
You and us both! It's the main complaint we (and many others) have about many of our local beach towns. We do utilize our scooters a lot, which allows us to park a mile or two from the beach in free parking areas and then scoot the rest of the way (no charge for parking scooters as they can be parked on bike racks), but beyond that (or knowing someone on the island), we don't know of any way to avoid the parking fees.
If you don't have a car, and you stay downtown at a resort you won't need a car. Everything you need is close by.
@@terriesowell1025 the SunRunner is also up and running now. That runs from downtown to St Pete Beach. From there you can hop on the Suncoast Trolley to Treasure Island.
We will be there tomorrow.
Looking for some ideas💡
That's great, Mike. We hope our video helped give you a few ideas for your visit. Another place in Treasure Island that we have really grown to enjoy (that we didn't include in our video) is KaTiki. It's a really great place for live music just a block off the beach. Caddy's on the Beach is also a very nice (albeit expensive) spot right on the beach and a block from KaTiki.
@Explorcation
😊 Thanks
John's Pass Boardwalk is a busy place. Parking hard to come by.
@@therrienmichael08 oh yes, especially this time of year. All of the main beaches around here are very busy in March due to Spring Break. We hope you are enjoying your time in the area :)
Might need to rent one of those wheelchairs just on the account of how drunk I will be 😂
Certainly not a bad idea🤣
Great video. It would be even better if you would spend more time showing the beach. Is the sand powdery and white. Is the beach wide or narrow? Is it full of seashells? Is is pristine or lots of eyesores? Beer and egg muffins are great, but I'm going for the beach first and food second. The beach is not number 1 or whatever because of the food. But that is great info, just not the main thing. Very good video and thank you for making it.
Thanks for the feedback, Bill. We have thought about doing a series where we primarily just walk the beach and focus more on the quality of the beach itself. Perhaps we'll make one of those types of videos soon.
Cold..... mid 60s....
#Floridacold 😂
Excellent. Now, go back and count how many times you said "kind of" and "sort of."
I guess that's our midwestern dialect still shining through 😆. Thanks for watching, Don.
Do Handicapped parking pay too or is it free?
That's a great question. Unfortunately we do not recall whether or not the handicapped spots on Treasure Island were free. We did just visit Redington Shores public beach though and noticed that the handicapped parking there was free. Thank you so much for watching, Glorivette!
Why the hand in the camera when finished with a section?
Just a different way of transitioning between shots that we like to use sometimes. Thanks for watching!
Did the phone survive?
Yes, thankfully it did!
I love the videos but not a fan of the hand in the face/camera thing. It's off putting. Is there another way to transition? Just some feedback
Thank you so much for the feedback, Marie. We are so glad that you enjoy our channel, and we always appreciate constructive criticism and ideas to improve our content as well!
Treasure Island is St. Pete Beach on a budget.
It definitely is a bit friendlier on the wallet!
“We didn’t have pizza!!!”
Lol thanks for watching to the end. We both couldn't stop laughing when we saw that clip!
I never want to hear the phrase “social distancing” again- we never complied with anti-science tyrannical submission training.
I truly appreciate the information you share but I find the hand on the camera after segments is distracting. Keep in mind we are the camera lens as we watch and it’s like you’re putting your hand in our face. If you want to grow your channel and subscribers I suggest drop that gesture. It’s not adding any value.
Thanks, Brian. We always appreciate constructive feedback, and you are not the first person that we received this specific feedback from. We did actually stop doing the "hand on the camera" transitions a few months back. Thanks so much for watching, and keep the feedback coming!
please stop drinking alcohol while driving your car in your videos?
We appreciate the concern, Brian. We can assure you that we do not drive while impaired. Often times we do all our driving footage before we have a drink. Other times only one of us drinks, or we take an uber or the free beach ride. We do understand that the way the videos are edited, it could appear differently. We'll be more aware of this going forward. Thanks for watching!
They're very safe and not at all impaired when taking their videos. Having one or two drinks is totally safe as long as they know what they're doing! They seem extremely responsible in person, and I'm sure they buy some drinks they don't even end up finishing until later at night just to review them to help the community!
