WHAT TO DO?
• Treasure Island hosts one of the best fishing areas in the region, from the beach and by boat, and the private Treasure Island boat ramp and fishing piers are fully accessible to guests. It is also a popular spot for crabbing!
• The kayaking and paddle boarding are amazing, with easy boat ramp access to get in and explore the still bay or gulf waters.
• The beach in front of the home is known for its variety of seashells, and its potential for finding treasures after a storm or during low tide. Look for whelks, conches, sand dollars, and the occasional bull shark tooth!
• Treasure Island is a haven for bird watchers, where you will find shorebirds, water birds, and land birds. Migratory birds that pass through the area in spring and fall use Treasure Island as a stopover site along the Central Flyway.
• Beachfront horseback riding is a 5-minute drive away, on the beach in front of the Blue Water RV Resort.
• The Kelly Hamby Nature Trail is a 5-minute drive, and is a short 0.4 mile out-and-back easy trail through the coastal dunes leading to the beach.
• For exploring the beach and experiencing the Golf Cart Community lifestyle, golf carts can be rented from surfside-beach-buggy-rental (minimum rental period and delivery fee may apply).
• Surfside is a 20-min drive; close enough for an evening out, but far enough away that the beach is not crowded. Try the Seahorse Grill for dinner, or Sharkie’s on the Beach for some live music!
