John’s Pass Village and Boardwalk

"Fun with the Family"

Madeira Beach, also known as Mad Beach, is where the action happens. Most of it centers around John’s Pass. Here, an angling charter industry has grown into a shoping and restaurant district with a ramshackle fish-house motif. It boasts its catches of grouper, a large Florida fish with tasty white meat. Snag one on a deep-sea fishing charter. Eat it and other local seafood in the village’s many restaurants and at the annual John’s Pass Seafood Festival in October.
