Treasure Island
We woke to sunny skies and 48°. After breakfast we checked out at 9 a.m. and hit the road. It is only around 215 miles from St. Augustine to Treasure Island. We stopped for gas and to stretch our legs. The traffic was crazy around Disney World and came to a stand still. Our waze redirected us to avoid the worst of it. Still, it was 3:00 when we finally reached our destination. As we drove over the bridge to Treasure Island, it felt like another world. It had warmed up to 66°. We settled in to our adorable airbnb bungalow and walked to Caddy's to see the beach. It's a hopping place! We would soon learn that this is a favorite spot and is really busy on the weekends. Young and old alike, but mostly young people on the weekend. We just kept our distance, moving farther down the beach to set up our chairs. During the week, we took advantage of the smaller crowds and the free chairs and umbrellas at Caddy's. We ordered drinks with an app and they delivered to our chairs. Perfect! This is the life!
Treasure Island has that old Florida feel. Sunset Beach is an event everyday at sundown, and the cottages are all reminiscent of Key West.
