John’s Pass and the beach nobody wants

For decades, residents, business owners and city officials have desperately sought solutions for the vast accumulation of beach sand adjacent to the John’s Pass Village and boardwalk in Madeira Beach.

Help is supposed to be on the way as Gov. Ron DeSantis included $1.5 million in funding for a dredging project at the popular tourist destination in June. However, those spearheading the initiative to remove the beach sand that threatens the environment, commerce and swimmers worry that bureaucratic gridlock will continue to hinder mitigation efforts.

Momentum builds for surf park in Tampa Bay

Florida’s Gulf Coast is not known as a surfer’s paradise due to its small swells, but a recent study has confirmed one local entrepreneur’s belief that a resort built around the sport would thrive in Tampa Bay.

Tony Miller, a former advertising executive in Tampa, first announced his plans to build Peak Surf Park somewhere in the region in January. The proposed 30-acre action-adventure park is as innovative as it is expansive - it centers around catching waves created by groundbreaking technology, and new renderings highlight an expansive resort-like atmosphere.
