Photo Diary: John’s Pass Village, FL

John’s Pass Village is a tourist resort between Treasure Island and Madeira Beach, Florida, in Pinellas County (St. Pete). It has everything a typical Florida beach town has to offer: T-shirt shops, restaurants and bars, Florida kitsch and a waterfront boardwalk. There are also many tourist boats here. It’s a nice place to spend an afternoon. I sometimes stop by for lunch, although the prices here are all touristy.

Some photos from a visit.

(Note: Just a few days after I visited John’s Pass Village, took these photos, and wrote this journal, Hurricane Helene passed over it, destroying much of it.)
