John's Pass Village & Boardwalk
Madeira Beach, Florida
Drive about 100 miles southwest of Orlando and you'll arrive at the Gulf Coast community of Madeira Beach, an unpretentious counterpoint to the carefully engineered "entertainments" of Disney World and Epcot Center. At the southern end of town, the century-old fishing village of John's Pass has been reborn as a fun and funky boardwalk entertainment district with dozens of shops, restaurants, nightclubs and water-sports outfitters.
Inside Tip: Take a sunset cruise.
