John's Pass Boardwalk is a local attraction that shouldn't be missed. Casual and
charming, albeit too touristy, this Old Florida, turn-of-the-last-century fishing village on
John's Pass consists of a string of simple wooden structures topped by tin roofs and
connected by a 1,000-foot boardwalk.
Most of the buildings have been converted into shops, art galleries, restaurants, and
saloons. The focal points are the boardwalk and marina, where many watersports are
available for visitors. If you don't go out on the water, this is a great place to enjoy an
alfresco lunch -- Scully's (tel. 727/393-7749) is the best restaurant here -- and watch
the boats go in and out of the pass.
On the Gulf of Mexico waits an island two miles long and a SMILE wide.
The City of Madeira Beach is an ideal vacation spot for the whole family. We are proud
of our clean streets, quiet neighborhoods, excellent public services, superb law
enforcement and fire protection, and a government that listens to the people.
Our friendly laid-back atmosphere is the reason many vacationers make Madeira Beach
their permanent home away from home.
