Treasure Island Attractions by Golf Cart
Treasure Island is the kind of place that begs to be explored slowly. It invites you to wake up late and wander around without a worry in the world, and at Beach Ride Rental, we believe that only gets better with a golf cart.
From sunset views to beachfront dinners, art walks to laid-back live music, we’ve mapped all the best Treasure Island, FL, attractions you can drive to on one of our street-legal golf carts.
The Treasure Island Beach Trail
One of the best places to visit in Treasure Island, FL, this beachfront path winds along the coast with wide, paved lanes that make it perfect for a laid-back drive.
Park your cart near 104th Avenue and hit the trail on foot, or stop at Sloppy Joe’s or Ricky T’s for lunch with a view. The choice is yours, and, trust us, you’re not starved for it; you’ll find local surf shops, café patios, souvenir stands, and plenty of shady spots to pull over and soak it all in.
It’s a can’t-miss highlight of any golf cart tour of Treasure Island, especially if you’re looking to hit all the major spots!
Keep in mind that you can’t drive your rental golf cart on the trail itself, but you can park nearby and walk it. Look for public lots around 104th Avenue or side-street parking just off Gulf Boulevard for the quickest access.
John’s Pass Village & Boardwalk
Technically just over the bridge in Madeira Beach, but close enough to drive to on one of our street-legal golf carts, John’s Pass ranks high on the list of things to do in Treasure Island, and with good reason.
Sure, it’s “touristic,” but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. Really, this is one of the most iconic things to do in the area, and easily one of the best places for sunset views in Treasure Island.
Park on the Treasure Island side and walk over, or cruise across the John’s Pass Bridge in your cart if local rules and signage permit.
Once you’re there, it’s all salty air and sensory overload: fresh seafood spots, live music echoing off the docks, shops full of souvenirs and local art, plus a boardwalk where you might catch dolphins playing in the water.
If you’re taking golf cart tours of Treasure Island, this one’s worth the detour. It’s the kind of place where “just a peek” turns into an afternoon of browsing, snacking, and sunset watching.
Sunset Vista Trailhead Park
Looking for a quieter side of Treasure Island? Head south, way south, to Sunset Vista Trailhead Park.
It’s small, tucked between condos, and easy to miss unless you know it’s there… which is exactly why locals love it. Wide beach access, picnic tables, and postcard-worthy views make it one of the best places to visit in Treasure Island, FL, if you’re craving low-key vibes and zero crowds.
You can pull right up in your golf cart and be toes-in-the-sand in under a minute. No long walk, no packed parking lots. Just one of the chillest Treasure Island attractions out there!
It’s a perfect example of how easy it is to explore Treasure Island by golf cart, especially when you’re chasing a quiet sunset or a morning coffee with a view.
Pro Tip: Grab breakfast or lunch to-go from Sweet’s Bakehouse or Foxy’s Café—both are just a few minutes by cart. There’s nothing better than a made-to-order sandwich and cold drink with the Gulf as your dining room.
119th Avenue + Artist Alley
If you’re into quirky photo ops, beach-town murals, and that “locals only” energy, cruise your cart north toward 119th Avenue and visit the Artist Alley.
This little stretch is full of colorful walls, tucked-away boutiques, and local art displays that give Treasure Island its laid-back charm. It’s a favorite for golf cart tours of Treasure Island, not because it’s famous, but because it feels like the island.
Real, relaxed, and just a little off the radar. It might not be the most popular Treasure Island attraction, but that’s what makes it special.
There’s easy street parking for carts, and it’s just a short walk to nearby shops, juice bars, and grab-and-go lunch spots. Plus, you’ll find a few benches and shady pockets to post up if you want to just chill and people-watch.
Treasure Bay Golf & Tennis
If you’re looking for some family-activities in Treasure Island, you can’t go wrong with Treasure Bay Golf & Tennis. It’s active, affordable, and just a quick golf cart ride away from most of the popular hotels in the area.
Mini-golf, tennis courts, and even footgolf are on offer, all in one spot with easy access and space to move around freely. It’s also a great halfway stop—play a few holes, then hop back in the cart to cruise somewhere for lunch or some beachfront dining!
A golf cart makes this a total breeze. You roll up, park on-site, and head straight in.
