Climate

Also known as Mad Beach, this Gulf Coast hotspot is a haven for travelers who love hot, humid weather. Summer temperatures top out in the 90s in July while January temperatures typically hover around 60 degrees. Though the area is prone to thunderstorms and rain, it’s primarily a sunny spot that makes for a great getaway.

Transit

Madeira Beach may be relatively remote as far as Florida locales go, but getting there is still a breeze. From door to door, the Tampa International Airport is just over 30 minutes from most Madeira Beach condos, and it’s best to rent a car right at the airport. As a relatively quiet community, Madeira Beach and the surrounding areas are easiest to explore by car, but visitors can hop on the Suncoast Beach Trolley to access Clearwater Beach, Indian Shores, St. Pete Beach, and much more.

Things to Do

When you visit Mad Beach, your first destination should be the city’s namesake shoreline. On Madeira Beach, you’ll find long stretches of soft, white sand, gentle waves, and maybe even a dolphin or two offshore. If you time your visit right, you might even catch a stunning sunset across the gulf. Though this is a top spot for relaxing, there’s also adventure to be had. Get high above the water with a parasailing trip, or cut through the Gulf of Mexico on a two-person jet ski.

For an offshore adventure, charter a fishing trip with local favorites Fintastic or Bent Charters, and try your luck at catching grouper, amberjack, snapper, or even tuna. For some onshore fun, take the kids to the Alligator Attraction, where they can see gators, lizards, and turtles up close and even try their hand at training a reptile.

Families will want to check out The Alligator Attraction. This experience is both educational and fun and it is where fifty alligators, koi and tortoise make their home. Tour the facility to learn more about these incredible creatures. If reptiles aren’t your thing, play putt-putt golf at Smugglers Cove Adventure Golf. Kids and adults can play a round of putt-putt golf in the midst of pirate ships and natural scenery. This mini-golf course is challenging fun at its best.

Food

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, head to John’s Pass Village and Boardwalk. With over a dozen restaurants and bars, there’s something for everyone here. If you’re in the mood for some of the area’s freshest seafood, don’t miss Waltz Fish Shak, which serves up the local catch and so much more. Finish it off with a sweet treat at Mad Beach Mini Donuts or Meyer’s House of Sweets.

After you’ve had your fill, browse over 50 boutiques, souvenir shops, and arts and crafts at John’s Pass Village, where you’re bound to find the perfect memento to take home. Toast to a great trip with a cocktail or two at the Boardwalk Grill or the Hut Bar and Grill, both of which boast scenic views of the gulf and plenty of beach-themed drinks.

Events

Families who are considering Madeira Beach house rentals may want to plan a vacation around one of the many events in the area. The Clearwater Fun N Sun Festival is a popular event that takes place in late April and runs through early May. Concerts, a selection of great food, swimming and boating are all part of the excitement of this family-friendly event. In July, visitors will want to attend the Fourth of July fireworks in Archibald Park. Here, visitors can enjoy volleyball games, hula hooping contests, music, food and more during the town’s patriotic celebration.

Whether you’re looking for a warm getaway during the winter months or a summertime hotspot, Mad Beach is a great pick on Florida’s Gulf Coast. With several convenient Madeira Beach house rentals to choose from, you can even spend your trip on the beach, right in the center of the action.
