The Ultimate Guide to John’s Pass Village

When you’re planning a stay in one of the many Madeira Beach rentals, you’re sure to be looking for the best local things to do. After you head to the beach itself, what else is there to do in town? Plenty! Perhaps the most notable local attraction is John’s Pass Village.

This shopping and dining destination is incredibly popular with locals and visitors alike, and you can’t truly say you’ve been to Madeira Beach without visiting it! Before you head out to John’s Pass Village, here’s everything to know. 

Fishing

With all the beautiful water surrounding you in Madeira Beach, how can you resist booking a fishing charter? If you’ve never been on a fishing charter or don’t consider yourself an experienced angler, don’t worry. The incredible staff on these charters will show you the ropes and make sure you have a wonderful time! When you book a Madeira Beach fishing charter, you don’t even have to worry about renting your equipment or getting your fishing license, so all you have to do is have a great time. 

Lady Godiva Fishing Charters will take you out into the water to find the best grouper, amberjacks, red snapper, wahoo, tuna, and so many other species. Anglers of all skill levels are more than welcome to hop on board and hit the water. You can book a charter for 4, 6, 8, or 9 hours with a maximum of 6 passengers per boat. 

You can also work with Early Riser Charters for an incredible day out on the water. Their primary fishing boat is equipped with top safety gear and is an excellent vessel for offshore fishing. Fishing trips can be booked for 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 hours and range in price from $700 to $1,900.
