About
In September of 1848, a large hurricane blew through the area of Madeira Beach. In the aftermath of the hurricane, pirate John Levique made the first passage through this area, giving it the name “John Pass.”
John’s Pass Village and Boardwalk has become the #1 tourist attraction in Pinellas County. Stop by to shop from hundreds of seaside merchants, plenty of eateries, and soak in some sun, just a short trip from our Anna Maria Island beachfront rentals.
Things to Do
Looking for things to do in Madeira Beach? In John’s Pass, there’s something for the whole family! With hundreds of merchants all over the pass, there’s something for someone. They have things like cigars, classic collectibles, sweets, and surf products. The strip also has fine wines, craft beers, and beef jerky!
But there’s more than just shops! Come and test your skills in the Locked Up escape room and see if you and your family can get out in time. Big into fishing? Choose from one of John’s Pass’s many fishing boats and enjoy a day out on the water catching fish in the Gulf. Finally, take the family on a Pirate voyage!
