Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:07/31/2017 08:22:36Copy HTML Treasure Island has no thong ghetto. Anyplace there are people there may be thongs. Places with more people have more thongs.
Mostly females who usually wear thongs with a lot of material high in the back, a few men, and the transgendered person. Go anywhere you want. If no one is wearing a thong near you, eventually someone will walk by wearing one. |

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:02/16/2018 01:35:16Copy HTML Have been four times this year. Thongs every day, just like last year.
Water still too cold for my taste. Don't bother with the new commercial parking lot where Blind Pass veers east off Gulf Blvd and Gulf Blvd continues to Sunset Beach. They want $3.50 an hour!!! Looks to me like they're only going to have business on Memorial Day, July 4th, etc. |

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:08/26/2018 10:21:45Copy HTML I’m traveling in the gulf coast area of Florida some of this week and was able to stop by Treasure Island and spend the day in the afternoon getting some sun. I parked at the main public parking area and for about $11 was able to park there for five hours. The weather worked out well and the red tide was nowhere to be seen there and the beach was nice and clean. I wore my Jovana Design multicolored bulge thong and of course the Florida sun was nice and intense. I did have my chair with and umbrella which helped a lot.
I would say the beach crowd was about to 2/3 to 3/4 (per Google tracker) the normal on this type of day since the schools are going back this week and the red tide has been playing havoc with the area. I had originally wanted to go to Siesta Key today but I think the beaches were mostly closed for red tide and unsafe swimming.
I was able to relax catch my rays, get in the water, and take a couple of walks both up and down the beach. I got a couple whistles as there were lots of people around and I just took it in stride. On one of my last walks it was interesting to hear a small family sitting at the waterline talk back-and-forth to each other as if they were wanting to tell me something. I heard them say a couple times... “should we tell him?” I wonder if they were going to tell me that it wasn’t legal to wear a thong on the beach there. It was not more than 10 minutes later that I had turned around and walked back past them again and as soon as I did I saw the local police SUV driving down the beach very close to the water’s edge. I had an in an initial reaction but didn’t even break my stride as I was walking towards the oncoming cop car. This was the first time I’ve seen anybody patrolling the beach all day and it was towards the end of my time there. It was interesting how close they were to the edge of the water so I’m assuming someone had called them in for “some” reason. As I waved he passed by within 15 feet of me in plain sight and I didn’t even look back or see him again. It was kind a gratifying to have the police go right by you in a very small thong in front of everybody there on the main breach and validating that thongs are SWIMWEAR! I did it with a smile my face and not a show of care in my stride or reaction.
I didn’t see any other 100% thongs but I saw another girl laying out under an umbrella close to me that had a very small wheel back swimsuit bottom.
For me it was just another time at the beach wearing what I do and enjoy myself.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:08/29/2018 10:44:10Copy HTML You will find thongs at both beaches. The most thongs will be the northern end of Ft Desoto. But the beach at Treasure Island is much bigger. The south end of Treasure Island is Sunset beach and is the gay part (bjt mixed crowd) and will have more men in thongs, where as the other parts of treasure island are mainly women in thongs ad very cheeky bikinis,l. Have fun

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:09/19/2018 03:19:58Copy HTML Might be heading to the area near the end of October. Have a private place I was going to stay at with my girl but now I'm not sure if she can make it, so I might be hitting the beach alone. Would love to thong, possible go nude, but no nude beach on the gulf side, are there?

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:09/21/2018 10:44:14Copy HTML People take their chances at the thong area at Ft. Desoto to be nude.....just be aware of walkers and rangers taking a ride down occasionally..... |

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:09/21/2018 09:23:00Copy HTML Prior incidents of people going nude at Ft. Desoto lead to increased hassles from park staff. Best to wear a thong boldly and publicly, not be part of the furtive duck and hide crowed. See the Fort Desoto thread for that.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:09/22/2018 02:33:41Copy HTML A few years ago the shenanigans in the thong ghetto at DeSoto resulted in the county considering a ban of thongs in all county parks and beaches. I think we dodged the bullet due to a Tampa Bay Times opinion piece where the writer thought it was just a small swimsuit issue not exhibitionism and sexual activity.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:09/23/2018 03:29:11Copy HTML This past week I spent a few days in St. Petersburg / Tampa for work. Actually chose the Residence Inn in TI to stay. I visited Fort DeSoto two days and I'll post those days in the right place, but I will say that I thonged on Treasure Island outside of the Residence inn. The Red tide on a scale of 1 - 10 was a 1.5, so fortunately for my visit it was a non issue. On the beach outside the Residence Inn there is a large sand dune (one large single beach mountain really) and after determining the trails and beach, I just set up on the ocean side of that sand dune. There were maybe 15 people that passed by me in the 2 hours that I was there, including a white county vehicle that stopped about 80 yards away from me. I had on a green and white striped thong that was clearly visible from afar. While the vehicle was there, I took phone calls standing up and walking around as I usually need to do, all while the vehicle was there. After about 15-20 minutes the vehicle passed by headed north and I never saw it again. I'm sure that the threat of red tide kept people off the beaches, along with the fact that it was a wednesday & thursday ~3pm each day, but there were absolutely no issues with thonging in that area of the beach. In fact, from the Residence it was close by and very easy to do. On a side note, if you book the residence Inn I would recommend one of the suites which are in the building closest to the water, and in doing so, request a suite on the NORTH side of the building. That side gets LOTS of afternoon sun and even after coming back from the beach I was able to work on my laptop laying out on my balcony catching some extra rays for the day. Check my posts for Ft. Desoto which will summarize my visits to that beach on this trip. |

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:10/17/2018 11:24:05Copy HTML Spent an hour at Treasure Island on Monday afternoon, I was the only guy in a thong but near me on the beach were 4 young ladies in thongs, and 3 more in really cheeky bottoms! Red Tide still present here though....

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:08/07/2019 03:47:57Copy HTML Almost impossible this year to set up in the center section and not have another thonger (or at least a very cheeky bottom) within eyesight.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:08/08/2019 02:51:41Copy HTML By center section I mean the area near the access park at 10400 Gulf Blvd. That has the most people because in addition to parking there, there is lots of parking across the street and lots of people from the BilMar. Its also the widest part of TI.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:05/16/2020 07:25:49Copy HTML They've killed the free parking at TI.
No problems maintaining appropriate distance.
Cheeky suits and thongs anywhere you go. No one should feel uncomfortable.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:06/15/2020 08:22:40Copy HTML Unfortunately TI has bumped up the parking cost. Excuse is they have to make up for lost revenue from when the beach was closed due to COVID 19. Hey, wait a minute, aren't we being told we're all in this together? Where's their sacrifice? (BTW St Pete Beach did the same thing.)

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:06/16/2020 11:15:08Copy HTML Yesterday on my beach walk I saw a man in a thong. The woman he was with wasn't wearing one. Can't quite remember the location, somewhere near the City of St Petersburg access park.
Outside of the parking price bump, everything is super enjoyable and relaxed this year.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:06/20/2020 10:40:30Copy HTML There's more parking. The McDonalds has been torn down. Weekdays park free. Weekends its $10 for all day. Very competitive with TI's increased rate of $2.75 per hour. East side of Gulf Blvd adjacent to 108th Ave.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:06/27/2020 09:37:52Copy HTML It is nice, however today I decided a predicted high of 96 was too much. Normally we peak at 93.
I'm hoping my report on TI will encourage the shy folks to come out and enjoy.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:06/28/2020 01:01:58Copy HTML It has certainly been hot. I'm from New Orleans, a hot, steamy, below sea level place that is forever hot. But the past few days here, have certainly been rough. South of Caddy's, bad news?

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:06/28/2020 02:05:30Copy HTML I'm considering staying a few days at Treasure Island/Sunset Beach late July or early August. I'm looking for a decent place in the area on the beach to stay, if anyone knows of something let me know. Also would my Arroyman gstring be allowed at Sunset beach? I'd love to meet up with others if I do go. PM me with any information you have. Thanks!

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:06/29/2020 03:44:15Copy HTML No problems south of Caddys. I just don't go south of Caddys because that's as far as I want to walk.
Yea, too hot. Lots of locals give up on beach time at 90 degrees. I'm OK with 92 or 93 but 96 kept me away.
----------
"looking for a decent place in the area on the beach to stay"
Define "decent". Nothing is new at TI.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:06/29/2020 06:08:28Copy HTML Understandable about the walk. And yes, I'm local to a place with the same heat, rough. Been both North and South of Caddys this trip. Likely south today. Headed out shortly.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:07/12/2020 10:42:55Copy HTML Since we're into July the crowds of locals have thinned a bit... plus, of course fewer tourists. Many people are not social distancing with those they know. Clearly a group of 8 or so young people don't all live together... especially when they arrive at different times. Yet the late arrivals get greeted with a hug.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:07/17/2020 10:50:07Copy HTML Anyone familiar with the Lands End condos at the south end of Sunset Beach? I'm considering renting a place in late August. Is this area conducive for thonging?

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:07/19/2020 04:09:13Copy HTML Yeah Lands End is on Sunset Beach great beach for thonging and g-strings. We stayed right up the beach from Lands End last year.I walked down there a couple times a day wearing a Joe Synder sock it g-string didn't have any problems at all. People were pretty laid back don't think they really cared what you were wearing.We're hopefully heading back there again this September. |

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:07/20/2020 10:58:56Copy HTML That is great to hear! I'm looking forward to spending a week in my thongs and gstrings. I have a Joe Snyder sock it gstring I'll be sure to pack.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:09/09/2020 10:40:39Copy HTML Just to report back, I just returned from Sunset Beach on Treasure Island and spent a week thonging in my smallest thongs and gstrings. It was a great place to thong and so liberating to walk the beach in my Joe Snyder sock it thong and my Arroyman bulge thong. I was able to meet a fellow thonger and hung out with him all week so all in all it was a fantastic week. If anyone is hesitant to wear a thong, Sunset Beach is the place to do it. I will be returning for sure. If anyone is one Instagram, alot of my pics from the week are there under my screen name Floridathonger.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:09/20/2020 11:30:47Copy HTML Rain and heat has kept me away for a while. Had a break from both yesterday. I think extended less than ideal conditions contributed to a lot of people getting out yesterday.

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:06/08/2022 06:36:15Copy HTML Should have added there's enough sand south of the parking lot. But there basically isn't a beach at the south parking lot and pavilion. So it isn't a quick 75 foot walk from the parking lot as in the past. |

Re:Treasure Island Pinellas County Florida Date Posted:07/14/2022 11:21:18Copy HTML I don't remember the shade. Could have been. The people were closer to the dune than the water. If it wasn't for my previous post I couldn't have remembered the color of the thong. (My mental hard drive is nearly full!) |
