Johns Pass Boardwalk - Madeira Beach FL








Johns Pass Boardwalk is a collection of unique shops, great waterfront dining, and sight-seeing charters at the south end of Johns Pass Village on Madeira Beach FL. It is a major vacation attraction.

Johns Pass Village is located between 130th Avenue and 129th Avenue on the east side of Gulf Blvd.

The Boardwalk is easily recognizable by the weathered wooden walkway that connects all of the merchants and restaurants, offering a nice view of Boca Ciega Bay in the back. Visitors crowd the railing to watch boats pass or to wave to friends heading out on a fishing charter.

The Boardwalk has two levels. You can normally find locals up on the top deck watching the sun come up over the small bay, and relaxing in some of the comfortable chairs before the crowds appear. Locals usually are gone by 8:00am and only return during Happy Hour at one of the waterfront bars.
