Hotels in Treasure Island

Barefoot on sugar-white sand, you'll understand why locals call this stretch of Gulf Coast paradise. John's Pass Village beckons with its weathered boardwalk where fishing boats unload the day's catch beside shops selling shells and saltwater taffy. Dolphin-watching tours depart hourly, captains pointing out fins with the casual confidence of old friends. Sunset Beach lives up to its name each evening when crowds gather for the nightly spectacle, applauding as the sun melts into the horizon. The Treasure Bay Golf and Tennis Center offers surprisingly challenging play despite ocean breezes that carry your ball in unexpected directions. After dark, beachfront bars serve grouper sandwiches and cold beer while live bands play Jimmy Buffett covers to appreciative audiences in flip-flops.
