Nearby Family Attractions
Treasure Island’s central location on Florida’s Gulf Coast places it within easy reach of numerous family-friendly attractions.

Treasure Bay Resort and Marina can assist with recommendations and arrangements to ensure you make the most of your family’s vacation time.
Family Friendly Restaurants
Eating well is a critical component of any family vacation, and thankfully Treasure Island and the St. Petersburg areas are chock full of family-friendly restaurants. Many of our favourites boast delicious adult menus with plenty of kid-friendly options as well. Of course, if you and your partner want to dip out for a romantic getaway while on your Treasure Island vacation there are countless higher-end options as well.
Ample Water Activities
Half the fun of vacationing on the beach in Florida comes from spending time on the water, and no matter the size of your family or the age of your kids there are options available for you to maximize ocean time. Splashing in the waves is always a good time, and if you would like to get a bit further out consider renting kayaks or paddleboards to explore offshore. If you are feeling even more adventurous, you can look into the many parasailing, jet-skiing, or boating options available to you!
The Alligator and Wildlife Discovery Center
Spending day in and day out on the beach can be surprisingly exhausting, as you bake in the sun and sand for hours on end. At Treasure Bay Resort and Marina, we like to recommend a “rest day” from all of your beach time by intentionally exploring somewhere else and getting out of the sun – especially if you are visiting from the northern latitudes. One of our favourite off-beach vacation options is The Alligator and Wildlife Discovery Center. Here, you and your family can experience some of the incredible wildlife that calls Florida home and does so in a safe, but close, environment.
Treasure Island, with its family-friendly beaches, thrilling water sports, pirate-themed adventures, wildlife encounters, and nearby family attractions, offers an idyllic setting for an unforgettable family vacation. When you choose to stay at Treasure Bay Resort and Marina, you gain access to comfortable accommodations, convenient amenities, and a team dedicated to ensuring your family’s experience is exceptional. Embrace the beauty and excitement of Treasure Island as you create cherished memories that will last a lifetime. Book your family vacation at Treasure Bay Resort and Marina and discover why it is the perfect destination for a fun-filled and memorable getaway with your loved ones.
