Treasure Island rules

Every rule below is quoted or closely paraphrased from the authority that sets it, with the date we read it.

Dogs
Dogs are not allowed on the beach. Service animals are, and they must be leashed or harnessed and may never run free. Emotional support animals are not service animals and are not allowed on the beach. source Read 5 October 2026
Alcohol
Alcohol is prohibited on the stretch of Sunset Beach from the 99th Avenue beach access south to the 85th Avenue beach access, from the first weekend in February through the last weekend in September, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, and on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day. source Read 5 October 2026
Sea turtle nesting season, 1 May to 31 October
Sea turtle nesting season runs from 1 May through 31 October in Pinellas County, which is the start date FWC gives for every county except Brevard through Broward. FWC asks beachgoers to fill in holes dug in the sand, knock down sandcastles, and take all beach toys, gear and furniture off the sand before sunset, because obstacles can stop a nesting female from reaching the dry sand and can trap hatchlings heading for the water. Lights facing the beach disorient both. FWC Read 5 October 2026

We could not find an official rule from Treasure Island's own source for: tents and shade structures, fires and grills. Rather than guess at a rule that carries a fine, we have left those out. Ask a lifeguard or check the official site.

Amenities and access

Treasure Island's official pages do not list amenities in a form we can cite, so this section is deliberately empty rather than filled in from somewhere unofficial.

Treasure Island does not publish lifeguard coverage on its official pages, so we do not show any. Do not read that as either lifeguards or no lifeguards. Of the eight beaches here, only Clearwater Beach publishes its hours.

Treasure Island water temperature by month

Averages computed from 83,277 observations recorded by NDBC Egmont Channel buoy, 16 miles offshore in the Gulf across 5 complete years, 2021 to 2025. The low and high columns are the coldest and warmest single readings in that month over the whole period, not a typical range for a day.

Station: Egmont Channel Entrance. A month is shown only where the pooled records cover at least 60 percent of it and come from two or more years, which is why a month can read as not enough data even though the station exists.

No. The city states dogs are not allowed on the beach, and that emotional support animals are not service animals. Service animals are allowed and must stay leashed or harnessed. source
What is the water temperature at Treasure Island?
There is no sensor at this beach. The nearest Gulf reading is from the NDBC buoy at the Egmont Channel entrance, offshore to the south, and the card above gives the distance with the figure. The closer sensors are all inside Tampa Bay, a different body of water, so we leave them out. source
