Madeira Beach
Madeira Beach HistoryMadeira Beach is located on a long barrier island that's separated from the Pinellas Peninsula by Boca Ciega Bay. The island itself was split in half by a hurricane in 1848, prompting an entertaining tale that continues to intrigue island residents.Long before the hurricane hit, the island was populated by pirates and Native Americans. One such pirate was Juan Leveque, a Frenchman who began working the seas in 1836. Many stories surround Leveque, who is also known as John Leveque and Juan LeVique. Some doubt that he was even a pirate -- instead, he may have been a mere turtle farmer. But legend says that the pirate Leveque buried his treasure on Madeira Beach, only to lose it when the hurricane halved the island. The hidden treasure may be a myth, but some think it remains buried somewhere on Madeira Island. The one sure thing is that Leveque's memory remains alive on Madeira Beach. The city celebrates its pirate history during the annual Juan Leveque Days festival. And in 1980, developer Wilson Hubbard opened a waterfront boardwalk that he named after Leveque. The John's Pass fishing village is now among Pinellas County's most popular attractions. ActivitiesMadeira Beach is home to several public parks and beaches, including Archibald Beach Park, Bicentennial Park, Kitty Stuart Park and John’s Pass Park-South Beach.John's Pass Village and Boardwalk is a quaint shopping district that's home to a large commercial and charter fishing fleet. More than 100 shops, galleries and restaurants line this unique retail center, which also provides access to boat rentals, parasailing and jet skiing. Try your hand at catching some grouper, one of Florida's most popular fish, or sample some at a local eatery -- more grouper is brought into John's Pass than any other place in the state! Each year, residents honor the town's most-famous pirate during Juan Leveque Days. The weekend event includes a "pirate invasion," treasure hunt, children's costume contest and adult Pirates Ball. Other annual events include the John's Pass Seafood Festival, the Veterans Day Boat Parade, the Grouper Festival and the Young Anglers Inshore Fishing Tournament. Madeira Beach is also close to Tampa and St. Petersburg, which offer shopping, fine dining, amusement parks, museums and professional sporting events.
