Attractions:
If you enjoy poolside, ocean sports, sunsets and seafood or relaxing walks along the water's edge, you will find Madeira Beach to be your answer to a perfect holiday. However, for those who prefer to keep active and take in all that the area has to offer, it is
recommended that you plan your excursions carefully in order to maximize your participation in its many memorable attractions.
A handy guide is the "Gulf Beaches" Guide which you will find in shopping malls or at John's Pass. You will find the detailed maps and general information sections very helpful. An extremely valuable source of information is the Florida Tour Book which is available through the automobile club. It contains travel maps, discount coupons and summaries of the major centres and points of interest in Florida.
