Johns Pass Village and Boardwalk in Madeira Beach FL






Johns Pass Village and Boardwalk, located at the southern-most end of Madeira Beach FL, offers over a hundred different shops, waterfront dining establishments, bars, and activities.

It advertises itself as "Pinellas County's #1 tourist attraction" and does its best to back up that boast.

Visitors and locals alike are drawn to this little fishing village because of the good food, the unique shopping, water sports such as parasailing and SeaDoo rentals, and the atmosphere.

During the two main seasons - summer vacation and winter influx of snowbirds, The Village is packed. Shoppers can find everything from souvenir t-shirts and henna tattoos to one-of-a-kind antiques and nautical gifts.

Spring Break, which runs from mid-March through the most of April is overwhelming.

If your Florida beach vacation falls during one of these times, plan on getting to Johns Pass by 9:00am so you are not trapped in a long line of vehicles in this small area.

* Bring lots of quarters for the parking meters, as you only get 15 minutes for each one.
