BEACHES VisitSPC.com/Beaches Treasure Island VisitSPC.com/TreasureIsland • Casual and eclectic. Breathtakingly scenic, too, Treasure Island reminds us that the good life comes with a healthy sense of humor. Florida’s touristy past winks from just about every corner. The Thunderbird Beach Resort , Treasure Island’s most iconic landmark, beams retro charm from a gigantic neon sign. A little more subdued, the Tahitian Beach Resort and Arvilla Motel feature low-key vintage accommodations with modern updates. For upscale pampering, treat yourself to the amenities of the FUSION Resort . As distant as 800 feet from the shoreline, Treasure Island’s Municipal Beach features a winding paved trail that traverses one of the Gulf beaches’ broadest coastlines. With plenty of space to run, play and take a casual walk, the enormous sugary-white stretch has become a mainstay for kitefliers, who put on a festival there every winter. Not to be missed, the Sanding Ovations sand sculpture exhibition amazes beachgoers every fall. As for the kids, they will love zooming down giant inflatable waterslides west of the beach parking lot at 104th Avenue. Feed the hungry pack at The Floridian , a Tripadvisor favorite for Cuban sandwiches. Or, grab some grub and order adult beverages, beachside, at Sloppy Joe’s or Caddy’s on Sunset Beach . 32 AMERICA’S BEST BEACHES
