One can explore the sea on a paddleboard or rent a kayak, go fishing, kite flying on the extra-wide beach, parasailing, take a stroll, skateboard, or ride a bike along the Treasure Island Beach Trail.
The Boca Ciega Bay is present in the east of the location. With all the modern amenities, nightlife is happening on Treasure Island.
An average one-week trip for a solo traveler will cost up to $1410. Host Ty Pennington has already given a sneak peek of the show.
