Treasure Island Beach Trail

The Treasure Island Beach Trail offers a delightful escape along Florida's Gulf Coast, winding past sea oats dunes with continuous views of the sparkling Gulf waters. This multi-use paved pathway provides a smooth, accessible surface, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a quick bike ride, offering a different perspective than walking directly on the sand. You'll also spot charming cottages and the unique "turtle-friendly" seawall, which doubles as a scenic resting spot.

This easy 1.9-mile (3.1 km) route has minimal elevation gain, just 5 feet (1 metres), and takes approximately 46 minutes to complete, making it suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Public parking is conveniently located at Gulf Front Park (104th Avenue), 112th Avenue, and near 119th Avenue. The trail is accessible year-round, but the cooler months from October to April are particularly pleasant for outdoor activities.

What sets this trail apart is its commitment to accessibility, featuring an ADA beach access mobility mat at Gulf Front Park, ensuring everyone can reach the beach. The distinctive "turtle-friendly" seawall, which received a major facelift in 2011 and repairs in 2024, adds a unique landmark to the coastal landscape. It's a versatile outdoor space, welcoming hikers, bikers, and dog walkers alike.
