Treasure Island Beach Resort is located at 10800 Gulf Boulevard, within minutes of the community’s quaint beach bistros and eclectic shops. Local recreational pursuits include shelling, snorkeling, parasailing and the Treasure Island Beach Trail — a fitness and walking trail running parallel to the beach for a one-mile stretch.

Home to Florida’s first residents, Treasure Island was settled more than 10,000 years ago by Native Americans trying to escape the Ice Age that was ravaging the Northern Hemisphere. Prior to becoming a city in 1955, Treasure Island was made up of four smaller towns: Sunset Beach, Boca Ciega, Treasure Island and Sunshine Beach. Treasure Island’s wide beach and family friendly accommodations have made it a prime vacation destination for multiple generations.

Treasure Island Beach Resort is part of Ocean Properties’ OPAL collection, an exclusive ensemble of premier luxury hotels and resorts, and offers Opal Collection packages including the Opal Romance and Opal Family getaways.
