Madeira Beach

"Mad Beach" combines 2.5 miles of soft sand with the county's most fun boardwalk district: John's Pass Village, home to dolphin cruises, parasailing, fishing charters, and the region's definitive grouper sandwich. Archibald Memorial Beach Park at 15100 Gulf Blvd has paid parking, restrooms, and a playground right on the sand.

Why our team sends guests here

Order the grouper sandwich at a John's Pass boardwalk spot and watch dolphins ride the tidal current through the pass — they show up like clockwork.
