If you’re dreaming of a beach day that balances high-energy fun with peaceful moments under the sun, Treasure Island, Florida, is your perfect getaway. This barrier island gem on the Gulf Coast blends all the best beach vibes—whether you're chasing waves, building the ultimate sandcastle, or just soaking up that golden Florida glow.

Morning: Sand Between Your Toes and Salt in the Air

Start your perfect beach day with a sunrise stroll along the shore. The early light reflects beautifully off the calm Gulf waters, and the beach is quiet—just the sound of waves and seabirds. It’s the ideal time to find seashells or set up your spot before the sun gets strong.

If you're visiting with family, break out the buckets and shovels! Treasure Island’s wide, soft sands are perfect for sandcastle building. Let your imagination run wild—towers, moats, seashell-decorated walls. It’s a nostalgic and creative way to kick off the day.

Midday: Dive into Adventure

By late morning, it’s time to get active. The Gulf’s gentle swells make it great for beginner surfers and paddleboarders. Local surf shops offer rentals and lessons if you’re new to the water. Want something a little different? Try parasailing for a bird’s-eye view of the coastline, or join a jet ski tour around the island’s waterways.

When hunger hits, grab a casual bite from a beachfront café or pack a picnic to enjoy under a sunshade. Don’t forget the sunscreen - this is the Sunshine State, after all!

Afternoon: Chill and Recharge

After all that activity, it’s time to relax. Stretch out on your beach towel or settle into a comfy beach chair with a good book or your favorite playlist. The sound of the waves creates the ultimate background music for an afternoon nap.

Feeling the heat? Take a dip in the warm, crystal-clear Gulf waters, or hunt for more shells as the tide rolls out. As the afternoon winds down, the beach starts to mellow out again—perfect for a slow walk along the shore with a cold drink in hand.

Evening: Sunset and Serenity

The sunsets on Treasure Island are nothing short of magical. As the sky turns shades of gold, pink, and purple, find a cozy spot to sit and just watch. It’s a moment of calm that feels like the exclamation point at the end of a perfect day.

Stay in the Heart of it All at Sunset Vistas

To turn your beach day into a beach stay, check into Sunset Vistas Beachfront Suites. Located right on the sand, you’ll be steps away from everything you love about Treasure Island - surf, sun, and stunning sunsets. With spacious suites, a tropical courtyard pool, and easy access to the beach, it’s the ultimate home base for your coastal escape. Book your stay today and make every day a perfect beach day.
