If there ever was a corner of Florida that encapsulated the essence of coastal charm and upscale leisure in perfect harmony, Treasure Island would undeniably be it.

Why is Treasure Island So Famous?

The origin of its evocative name is rooted in local lore, with tales suggesting that early settlers named the island after discovering chests believed to be filled with treasure. While the veracity of these tales remains debated, what isn’t in question is the treasure of experiences this island offers.

The Sanding Ovations Masters Cup is a family-friendly competition on the beach featuring local and lively entertainment, vendors, food vendors and creative sand sculptures.

Local Art and Music Scenes: Engage with the community at local galleries or enjoy live music at beachside venues, allowing the rhythms of Treasure Island to resonate with you.
