For me, treasure Island Beach ended up being more irritating than relaxing. It's not the worst…read moreBeach I've ever been to, but it definitely doesn't live up to its reputation and my overall experience was underwhelming with an air of pretension. Paying for parking immediately. Set the tone, especially since there's nothing particularly special about this beach. On top of that, I didn't realize until after I paid for parking that it's not dog friendly, which feels ridiculous for such a wide open public space. Sand, I did venture out for a while and the sound was ultra fine which super annoying. The views are okay and it wasn't crowded which is nice but now I know why. Most of the people I saw were much older and were fully dressed walking on the pathway and not really utilizing the beach. There are so many beaches in Florida. I'm not sure why anyone comes here. Nothing stood out or made us want to stay or really justified all the inconveniences. This beach is just meh and if you're close by ok but definitely not worth going out of your way for.

My only issue with this side is there is one piece of equipment that I cannot figure out how to use. Wish there was some signs with instructions or illustrations for each piece of equipment. Other part of park is for the kids. One section seems like a toddler area with baby swings nearby. There are also 2 regular swings in this section. In the middle are lots of climbing type pieces with a section with a slide. There are at least 3 spin type pieces and one "elevator" type piece you have to climb up to the step area. This is not obvious so my great niece had to watch someone else do it before she figured out how it worked. After that it was her favorite thing to do. The slide only has a bar type climb access which is not great if you have a kid that prefers steps or is smaller. There is a slide in the toddler area that is easier to get up to but a smaller length slide. Overall we enjoyed coming to this playground. It has wood chips on the ground and is fairly shaded. There is parking for about 6 vehicles which seemed adequate when we were there. It is at the end of a neighborhood and runs along Gulfport Blvd. I recommend trying this location especially if you are near this area.

Most of the buildings are still closed/roped off due to damages. It's December; it's winter; so all the water around here is churned up & not clear, looks dirty. It is always like this after the Hurricane season. Always looks dirty, till one day, poof! Like magic; it's clear again. Hopefully the Pavilion & park will be rebuilt & much improved by spring. Will return to update.

During the right weather in the right time of year the sky is amazing, the view over looking the water is breathtaking, and we even had a Dolphin come up out of the water right next to us during our ceremony!! The price for the venue, if you're looking for somewhere that will let you bring in your own alcohol and food, is pretty good for what you get. Especially compared to other rec centers, this is so not your average rec center. Inside are hardwood floors, floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the bay. It's true that it was a little bit too hot during the reception so I got a little more sweaty dancing than I would have liked. But they have outdoor lounge/seating areas that worked out great for the smokers crowd. The actual ceremony location is perfect - a concrete ledge that drops right off at the water, so it's like getting married at the beach without the sand! And if it rains, the ceremony can always be held in the covered outdoor area that is much less romantic than by the water, but you could decorate it up nicely if you wanted. Tyler, who orchestrates the reservations for the venue, is also very laid back but helpful at the same time making it a pretty stress free venue rental at the end of the day. We loved it and would highly recommend!

Fort De Soto Park was honestly one of the biggest surprises of our Florida trip. The second we…read morearrived, we could see why so many people love this place. The beaches were absolutely beautiful with soft white sand and clear Gulf water that looked straight out of a travel magazine. Even though it's a popular park, it still felt peaceful and relaxing. One of the coolest parts was how much variety there is here. You can relax on the beach, bike the trails, go kayaking, fish, camp, or explore the historic Spanish-American War-era fort. Walking through the old fort while looking out over the water was such a unique experience and made the park feel completely different from a normal beach destination. We also spotted wild Nanday Parakeets flying around the park, which made the whole place feel even more tropical and unforgettable. Seeing bright green parrots while standing near the ocean was definitely not something we expected. Everything felt very clean, well maintained, and easy to access. Fort De Soto Park is the kind of place where you could easily spend an entire day and still not see everything. We would absolutely come back again and highly recommend adding this spot to your Florida bucket list. Check out our video on our socials @reessroots

However, I would definitely recommend wearing water shoes or sandals. The sand is quite rough and packed with broken-up shells, making it sharp and fairly painful to walk on barefoot. Additionally, the parking situation is a bit steep at $6/hour. Compared to other nearby beaches that offer free or more affordable parking options, it feels like a bit much. If you don't mind the extra cost and are prepared with footwear, it's still a lovely place to visit!
