Welcome to John’s Pass Village and Boardwalk, a beautiful spot tucked in the heart of Madeira Beach. The “Pass,” as locals call it, was created by a hurricane back in 1848! A pirate named John Levique was the one who made the first passage through the pass, hence the name, John’s Pass! The village is home to unique retail shops, restaurants, the local fishing fleet, dolphin watching and shelling tours, boat rentals, parasailing and jet skiing! There is also plenty of parking and the best part is, the beach is just a stroll away! 😍 . 📍12901 Gulf Blvd, Madeira Beach, FL 33708, United States .
