Is it an easygoing beach town or a happening tourist destination? The answer is both , much to the delight of locals and visitors who frequently return to swim, snorkel, sun, parasail, stroll or take in a postcard-ready sunset. The town’s annual events, such as the Sanding Ovations Sand Sculpture Competition, are also a big draw. There are plenty of accommodations to consider, from retro hotels like the Thunderbird Beach Resort and the Tahitian Resort to more upscale options like the Treasure Island Beach Resort and the FUSION Resort . There’s also a busy commercial strip brimming with restaurants, shopping and well-known watering holes, including Ricky T’s and Caddy’s Treasure Island . Be sure to check out the bohemian Sunset Beach , a popular spot among the local LGBTQ community. SANDING OVATIONS SAND SCULPTURE COMPETITION 28 AMERICA’S BEST BEACHES
