Visit a Piece of Florida's Natural History
John's Pass was first created by a major hurricane in 1848. A ferocious storm hit the Gulf Coast and cut a large passage through the barrier island that now separates Madeira Beach to the north and Treasure Island to the south. It was named after its discoverer Jean "John" Levique, a local sea turtle hunter and fisherman. Over the next century, the John's Pass area has changed from a sleepy fishing village into a vibrant shopping and entertainment district at the southernmost part of Madeira Beach.
