Nothing terribly exciting but still a fun place to walk, get some food or drinks, do a little shopping, or just enjoy walking the boardwalk. Keep an eye on the fishing boats when the come in to see the catch of the day. The lift bridge is a sight to watch too if you haven’t seen it.

I fly to Florida from Wisconsin several times a year to visit my retired parents in Plant City. John's Pass is always the first thing we plan to do. Great place to go after a day at the beach. Get some good food, some drinks and visit the shops.

John's pass is across the street from the best beach, Madeira Beach. You can spend the day at the beach, walk over to John's pass do some shopping and have dinner, then go back across the beach for sunset.

Mr Randall | Sep 3, 2019

You sure can. Just head over to the boardwalk and make your arrangements. You can also visit this website for additional information about area activities like PWC(personal water craft) rentals. BeachDirectory.com, where you can find links for everything from accommodations to dining & area activities. Most allow you to book on line or phone #'s to call & make reservations like reserving your jetskis.

What is the name of the hotel that is right across the road from St John's pass.

karen Adams | Sep 3, 2018
Mr Randall | Sep 3, 2019

Try visiting BeachDIrectory.com selecting Maderia Beach on the left side of the screen that lists the beaches from North to South. Then after selecting Maderia Beach the page that will load will have several links at the top to enable you to narrow your search to specific aspects of the area including maps to help you answer your question as their are multiple lodging choices across the street and depending on where your standing at John's Pass Village the answer to your question may differ.

There is plenty of places to sit.

Where at John's pass is a good place to fish?

Rachel Mitchell | Sep 3, 2019
Mr Randall | Sep 3, 2019

When I was in my teens and early 20's visiting my family that wintered here, we went fishing every morning from the cat walks under the old bridge that was replaced 2008-2010. But to be more current and answer your question you can fish from gettys on the north & south sides or I like going back behind John's Pass Village and you can drive down the street that runs east & west between the north side & the boardwalk back to Waltz Fish Shack, park then fish across the street from Waltz at the eastern end where the boardwalk ends. Its east of the wave runner rentals & Hubbards 1/4, 1/2 & full day fishing trips out into the Gulf. I think they still offer to cook your catch at their restaurant. Talk about fresh fish. ....

Is this handicap accessible? Do you rent wheelchairs?

Lori Latkovic | Sep 3, 2018
Sherri Norris | Sep 3, 2018

I do not believe there is a place to rent wheelchairs. The shops on the street would be wheelchair accessible, yet on the boardwalk quite a few of the restaurants have stairs without other access that I am aware of. Definitely worth the trip! I did see wheelchairs, scooters, etc on the street & on the boardwalk, if this helps.

Yes I believe so, tell you the truth John Pass was so full of spring breakers, I found myself distracted by all the beautiful sights. Do you remember the store across the street from the Thunderbird and Belmar. Unbelievably the same. Somethings changed but not the old staples.

SeniorPastoraDrDiana Brevan | Sep 3, 2019
Kylene Minnicus | Sep 3, 2019

John's pass doesn't allow crabbing off of the pier so you would have to have your own personal boat and there are crabbing Lanes which are already properly finished so you would have to contact wildlife before you drop traps especially in Florida

It's actually called John's Pass, but to answer your question. There is a parking garage and metered parking. Often difficult to find parking in the lots so the garage is a better option.

Where would someone see if a lost item was returned.

Samantha Whitmore | Sep 3, 2018
S. S. | Sep 3, 2018

I would check the police station first. If you don't put in a report and someone turns it in, it will be theirs after 30 days if it has not been reported. Also you can offer a reward on Craigslist. Just make sure you meet in a public place to meet with them. ..If you lost your boyfriend don't worry. There's more out there.😀 Oh yeah... Do not be to specific of where you lost it. People will start looking for it in hopes of pawning or selling it....Just a general surrounding such as the town or city or a couple miles radius. Good luck. TinMaN.

Anywhere you can just go fishing? Dad has Alzheimer’s and I want to take him out to what he enjoys.

Maggie Garcia | Sep 3, 2018
Outdoor Survivalists | Sep 3, 2018

You can't fish off the boardwalk... but you can fish under the bridge and along the rock jetties that run out to the beach. You can also fish on top of the bridge, with the exception of the parts of the bridge that go up when boats come through. But you should be good on any of the patio out-croppings along each side of the bridge. Also, to legally fish, you'll need a fishing license. They can be had at Wal-Mart in the Outdoor Department for free for Florida residents, you only need to show them your Florida drivers license.
