Sandbar Adventure
Grab the family and friends and come relax and party! Let us handle all the transportation and worry for you.
The Johns Pass sandbar is extremely popular, and is one of the top destinations for boating in Tampa Bay. It is located in the western part of Boca Ciega Bay. It’s just inland from Johns Pass Inlet, northeast of Johns Pass bridge. It’s roughly between Treasure Island and Madeira Beach. The shallow sandbar exists because sand accumulates as it flows out of Boca Ciega Bay, out of Johns Pass and into the Gulf of Mexico.
The water around Johns Pass can be clear when conditions are calm, but the water is not as clear or clear as other sandbars in Florida. Still, the water is usually a beautiful emerald blue/green. Like the Lake Boca sandbar, Johns Pass is located in a densely developed surrounding environment. Johns Pass has a lively waterfront area with waterfront restaurants, tours, watersports, and many other things to do. This sandbar is the site of parties, including organized events and private gatherings.
Hundreds of boats can gather on the Johns Pass sandbar, especially on warm summer weekends and holidays. Summer holidays like Memorial Day and the Fourth of July are among the busiest days for Johns Pass.
