Treasure Island. Just the name conjures up images of Robert Stephenson's famous book. This Florida…read moreresort town is definitely a different read. The sunsets are still spectacular. Nature won't let you down. But the actual island is slowly going down hill. The famous white sand beach is still there, but is suffering a little from erosion and now has areas of scrub as well. Recently extra sand was imported in, but 2 back to back hurricanes have spread that new sand everywhere but on the beach. Beware of the parking situation. It's funny that you can park in downtown St Petersburg or at Tampa Airport for less money than on Treasure Island. Unless you are staying at a motel or hotel on the beach that gives you a parking space along with your room expect to pay at least $6 an hour for parking on the beach. Stick to city owned parking lots. The privately owned lots are true tourist traps. At Pirate Square strip mall I paid online and still received a $63 parking ticket! There is no way to contact the company to complain and if you pay within a few days they reduce it to $43 to encourage people to not fight the ticket. Fortunately this lot has been torn down but the damage has been done and other private lots are following suit. Every year the Sand Sculpture competition in November and the Kite Festival in January bring back the festival crowds I remember from decades ago. In between times there is just an overpriced resort town as high end luxury hotels and corporate owned tourist trap store chains slowly replace the quaint little motels and local owned shops that gave the area its unique flavor. You can still find some of the Treasure Island spirit but you have to look hard.

Went to see the sand art again this year. There did not seem to be as many as last year. The…read morebeach was nice and bought a few things from the vendors. The parking lot at the beach was full so had to park across the street and it was very expensive $28 for two hours.

We all fell in love with this beach. Vibe of peace, meditating and mindfulness, and romance. Absolutely stunning beach. Definitely one beach I will return to. Oh my handsome guy, come find me and let's come here! Lol

The Sunset Vista Park & Beach Access Point is located on Treasure Island on the Northern End of…read moreSunset Beach, 400 yards North of Caddys Beach Bar & Grill, off Gulf Boulevard and West Gulf Boulevard across from a large beach parking lot and a 711 Gas Station & Convenience Store. Many locals come to Sunset Vista Beach for a tranquil spot with hassle-free parking to watch the beautiful Florida beach sunsets and enjoy the beach away from all the commotion of Caddy's Beach Bar & Grill. The Sunset Vista Trailhead Park sign gives the back-story for the funding & origination of this park: "Property for Sunset Vista Trailhead Park was purchased with funding from the Florida Communities Trust Preservation 2000 Program, and assistance of the Trust for Public Land. Construction of the Park was funded in part with Natural Resource Damage Funds recovered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for Public Recreational Losses caused by the 1993 Tampa Bay Oil Spill." The Sunset Vista Park has bike racks, showers, 2 long boardwalk walkways for getting to the beach, and a pavilion that provides ample room and seating for those who do not wish to walk down to the beach. There is a 2 mile Beach Nature Trail that winds along Sunset Beach's dunes with display signs telling you about the fragile dune ecology. Treasure islands coastal dunes have 3 vegetation zones. The frontal zone has sea oats, beach sunflowers, railroad vines, beach morning glory, American sea rockets which have tough root systems to help stabilize the dune. In the back dune zone, palmetto, wax Myrtle, cabbage palm, and sea grapes colonize the dune. I was surprised to see that Raccoons live among the dunes and saw some Nice Wild Red Dune flowers in bloom w Yellow Tips! If you're looking for an easy spot to park at Sunset Beach in Treaure Island close to Caddys Beach for only $2 per hour, I highly recommend parking by Sunset Vista Park as it is a lot better option than paying $25 to park at Caddys if the Pelican lot is full. Sunset Vista Park is a great spot to learn about dune and go for a hike or enjoy the beach without a lot of music or people!

This is a pretty nice park. It is all fenced which is nice. One section has exercise equipment…read morefor the adults (although kids try some of them also). 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.

This park is smaller then my back yard. It has 3 play things…read morefor kids. Two which are different from most other parks. It's really not worth your time. Mike
