    madeirabeach1Madeira Beach is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. Its residents either live on the water or within walking distance of it. In fact, watch the daily migration of people as they wander down to the water each night to view the spectacular sunset.

    With a population just under 5,000 people, Madeira Beach has a small town atmosphere and a largely residential feel. Families are in the minority here, as many Madeira Beach households are retirees or empty nesters.

    madeirabeach2The main attraction of the city is St. John’s Pass Village, a quaint fishing village with unique shops and boutiques, a fishing fleet, cruise lines, boat rentals, parasailing and jet skiing, and a variety of restaurants. If deep sea fishing is of interest to you, several charters are available right here at John’s Pass. As you walk along a waterside boardwalk you will most likely see dolphins in the water below. Want a close-up photo with you and a pelican? Then John’s Pass is your best bet.

    Residents and visitors alike enjoy Gulf views from the white sand beaches, as well as the beauty of the Intracoastal along the 1,100 foot boardwalk.

  1. What a great event it was this weekend at the Madeira Beach Seafood Festival.

    As always, it was a beautiful sunny day here in Florida and a lot of people showed up for the Madeira beach seafood festival. All kind of arts and crafts were for sale and tons of food. My absolute favorite was the fresh off the boat Stone Crabs. You could get a pound of the most delicious Stone crabs for $12.99 already cracked and served with either butter or a stone crab sauce. Captain Brian Spaeth and the Gulf Partnership for marine fisheries did a fantastic job. Stone crab season open mid October and Brian Spaeth is out there a few days a week bringing in the best local Stone crab. If you want to buy some of these fresh local Stone crabs, give Captain Brian Spaeth a call 727 320 6926 and get them directly from him. You will be surprised how good they are.

  2. Madeira beach is my backyard – our office is here.

    Madeira beach has kept a lot of its original charm. It is one of the very few places where we still find local commercial fishery. So, if you want to make sure that your fish is fresh, you have to come to Madeira beach. Go to the different commercial marinas and sometimes you can buy your fish right of the boat. Also, Bamboo Beer Garden just reopened, and do not forget to go to the HUT in Johns Pass. Bubba Gump Shrimp is right above the new parking garage in John’s Pass and from there you get to see the most beautiful sunset.
