A Day of Fun Beach Activities on Treasure Island

Treasure Island is known for its wide, sandy beaches and laid-back coastal charm—and Crystal Palms Beach Resort places you right at the heart of it all. Whether you’re here for a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a weekend of pure relaxation, there’s no shortage of beachside fun just steps from your suite. Here are some of the best beach activities to enjoy during your stay.

Morning Beach Walks

There’s nothing quite like a peaceful morning stroll along the shoreline. The beach behind Crystal Palms stretches for miles, offering the perfect setting for early risers to take in the fresh air, collect treasures, or simply listen to the soothing sound of the waves.

Paddleboarding and Kayaking

For those who love to stay active, paddleboarding and kayaking are great ways to explore the calm waters of the Gulf. Rentals are available nearby, and the gentle waves make it ideal even for beginners. Glide across the water at your own pace and take in the beautiful coastal scenery from a new perspective.

Beach Games and Family Fun

The wide beaches of Treasure Island give families plenty of space to spread out and play. Bring a volleyball, frisbee, or paddleball set for some friendly competition. Sandcastle building is always a hit with kids, and the soft white sand makes it easy to get creative.

 

Sunset Watching

One of the most iconic activities in Treasure Island is simply watching the sunset. The Gulf Coast is famous for its breathtaking displays of color as the sun dips below the horizon. Find a cozy spot in the sand or take a seat on your private balcony at Crystal Palms and enjoy the show.

Beach Picnics

Pack your favorite snacks or pick up something from a nearby café and enjoy a picnic right on the beach. With the sound of waves and a sea breeze around you, dining alfresco takes on a whole new meaning. Bonus points for timing it with sunset.

Shell Collecting

Treasure Island lives up to its name with plenty of shelling opportunities, especially in the early morning or after a storm. Wander along the tide line and you’ll often find colorful shells, sand dollars, and the occasional piece of sea glass. It’s a peaceful activity that’s fun for all ages.

 

Relax and Soak Up the Sun

Of course, sometimes the best beach activity is no activity at all. Grab a good book, lay back in a beach chair, and soak up the warm Florida sun. With the Gulf breeze and soft surf in the background, it’s easy to let go of everyday stress.

Stay at Crystal Palms Beach Resort

When the beach is calling, Crystal Palms Beach Resort is the perfect place to stay. Located just steps from the sand, our spacious suites, resort-style amenities, and friendly atmosphere make it easy to enjoy everything Treasure Island has to offer. Whether you’re in search of adventure or relaxation, you’ll find it here.

The Perfect Beach Day on Treasure Island

If you’re dreaming of a beach day that balances high-energy fun with peaceful moments under the sun, Treasure Island, Florida, is your perfect getaway. This barrier island gem on the Gulf Coast blends all the best beach vibes—whether you’re chasing waves, building the ultimate sandcastle, or just soaking up that golden Florida glow.

Morning: Sand Between Your Toes and Salt in the Air

Start your perfect beach day with a sunrise stroll along the shore. The early light reflects beautifully off the calm Gulf waters, and the beach is quiet—just the sound of waves and seabirds. It’s the ideal time to find seashells or set up your spot before the sun gets strong.

If you’re visiting with family, break out the buckets and shovels! Treasure Island’s wide, soft sands are perfect for sandcastle building. Let your imagination run wild—towers, moats, seashell-decorated walls. It’s a nostalgic and creative way to kick off the day.

Midday: Dive into Adventure

By late morning, it’s time to get active. The Gulf’s gentle swells make it great for beginner surfers and paddleboarders. Local surf shops offer rentals and lessons if you’re new to the water. Want something a little different? Try parasailing for a bird’s-eye view of the coastline, or join a jet ski tour around the island’s waterways.

When hunger hits, grab a casual bite from a beachfront café or pack a picnic to enjoy under a sunshade. Don’t forget the sunscreen – this is the Sunshine State, after all!

Afternoon: Chill and Recharge

After all that activity, it’s time to relax. Stretch out on your beach towel or settle into a comfy beach chair with a good book or your favorite playlist. The sound of the waves creates the ultimate background music for an afternoon nap.

Feeling the heat? Take a dip in the warm, crystal-clear Gulf waters, or hunt for more shells as the tide rolls out. As the afternoon winds down, the beach starts to mellow out again—perfect for a slow walk along the shore with a cold drink in hand.

Evening: Sunset and Serenity

The sunsets on Treasure Island are nothing short of magical. As the sky turns shades of gold, pink, and purple, find a cozy spot to sit and just watch. It’s a moment of calm that feels like the exclamation point at the end of a perfect day.
