Live your dream vacation!

Sunset Beach is a slice of paradise located on a quiet beach on the southern tip of Treasure Island in the Tampa Bay area. Listen to the sounds of the Gulf of Mexico from every room and catch sight of dolphins and diving pelicans from the balcony. Sunsets are a daily cause for celebration, each one unique and awe-inspiring. If beachcombing, island- or peninsula-hopping, outdoor sporting activities, cultural arts, dining or nightlife call you, there is something for everyone within walking distance, a short drive or a day's excursion.
