Beach at Sunset

Treasure Island is a both a barrier island and a small town of the same name on that barrier island. It’s one of the barrier islands right off the west coast of the peninsula that is Pinellas county.

Treasure Island is one of the more “commercial” of the barrier islands in the area. Which is okay, it’s good to have a beach island with a putt-putt course on it.It’s littered with hotels, nightclubs, condos and grocery stores. It does have several public beaches and a wonderful pass to the Gulf of Mexico. The pass is always busy and provides access for some surprisingly large boats. but if your looking for solitude it’s probably not going to happen. There is a nature preserve on the islands bay side that’s surprising large and is a great spot for birding.
