Years ago, Madeira Beach became a popular hangout of the young from across the bay in Tampa who nicknamed it "Mad Beach." Obviously, it was a fun place. Then the condos came to roost and the fun became harder to find. Yet the area still held a special charm despite the crowded development and its popularity never wavered. It just that its tourists now are more likely to come from across the ocean or Canadian border than across the bay.
John's Pass Beach, Park and Village: Nearby John's Pass is a favored fishing location. Nearly 500 feet of beachfront is accessed by dune walkovers, but no lifeguards are on duty. John's Pass Village is a collection of specialty shops, a hodgepodge of not-so-cheap souvenir shops, boat and waverunner rentals, fishing tours and restaurants. This is a popular destination of locals and tourists alike. It is situated across the street from the Gulf just north of John's Pass bridge along the intercoastal waterway.
There are quite a number of good resource sites available for exploring all that Madeira Beach has to offer. The below are a couple that we use:
