Treasure Island may be known for its laid-back beach vibes, but that doesn’t mean your trip has to be all sunbathing and sipping cocktails—unless you want it to be, of course. For travelers who like to stay on the move, this barrier island off Florida’s Gulf Coast offers plenty of outdoor activities that will get your heart pumping while soaking in some stunning coastal scenery.
Whether you’re into water sports, beachside yoga, or scenic bike rides, here are a few of the best outdoor spots to keep you active during your stay on Treasure Island.
This mile-long paved trail runs along the beach and is perfect for walking, jogging, or biking. The wide path gives you plenty of room to move while enjoying views of the Gulf of Mexico, and it connects several public beach access points and parks. Early mornings here are peaceful, and sunsets are simply unbeatable.
Don’t let the name fool you—while it’s a prime spot for evening views, Sunset Beach is also a great place to get active. Try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) when the waves are calm or join a local beach yoga class to start your day with a stretch. If you’re a runner, the compact sand here makes for an excellent barefoot jog.
A short drive or bike ride north will bring you to John’s Pass, where you can rent kayaks, jet skis, or book a parasailing adventure. Kayaking through the mangroves is a fun, low-impact workout that lets you get up close with Florida’s native wildlife, from herons to dolphins.
Need a break from the beach? Head to Treasure Bay Golf and Tennis for a little friendly competition. The facility offers tennis courts, a 9-hole par-3 golf course, and pickleball—perfect for mixing up your routine while staying in the sunshine.
For a more relaxing (but still engaging) outdoor activity, try your hand at fishing. The Treasure Island Causeway is a popular local spot where anglers cast for snook, redfish, and more. It’s a great way to connect with nature—and maybe even catch dinner.
