Liability Waiver:  The BBC has a revised Liability Waiver specific to our club.  Even if you have signed a liability release form in the past for our club, we are asking that you sign the revised one. This will only need to be done one time; not every trip or yearly.  Please click on link below, print and sign, and give the form to your bus leader on this trip. 

Before you click on the waiver, one of these is good for your lifetime.  PLEASE do NOT submit these for every trip!!!

You may choose to have both lunch (because you can't bring your lunch and eat it on this beach)  and dinner at Caddy's  (https://caddys.com/caddys-treasure-island/).  After all, they share their beach chairs and beach with us.  But if not, our buses will escort you a 1/2 mile to other restaurants in the area. 

They are:

Regrettably, no alcohol or food can be brought onto this beach,

but it sure can be purchased there!

We’ve chosen this site in part because of its shallow beach, calm waters, and indoor escape from the August sun......along with the fact that they can't wait for us to arrive!!

Less than 10 minutes away from the beach by bus, Florida Orange Groves Winery is Florida’s original tropical fruit winery. Today they produce over 43 different varieties of premium tropical fruit wines, all of which are gluten free! If you are looking for a wine that tastes like the fruit it’s made from then look no further. They are offering a free 30-minute tour, followed by a 30 minute tasting.  To see their award winning wines.... Key Lime, Hurricane White Sangria, and Mango Mamma... visit their website at  https://floridawine.com/.

Their TripAdvisor rating is 4.5/5 and a recent visitor posted this review:

"What a fun experience! As a self proclaimed food and wine snob who has traveled the world on luxury wine excursions, I didn’t have high hopes. However, I was pleasantly surprised and found it to be more enjoyable that some Napa vineyards. Staff is friendly and wines are fun. Bought several bottles to use in cocktails and for cooking. Great adult outing option."

 (We all qualify as 'adults'......right?)

Oh, yeah, then there’s the beach .....

You could instead hand your addressed envelope to a person at the counter at Safe Ship in Colony Plaza, saving you the stamp and ensure its timely arrival.

Make it easy and rent two chairs and an umbrella set up in advance for only a $5 per item tip.  They have cabanas now too as part of their recent renovation but they are quite pricey.  Maybe you and ten of your closest friends would want to rent one.  They have added more changing and restroom areas since we were last there as well.  For more detail, go to https://caddys.com/caddys-treasure-island/.

For an optional  trip that afternoon, you can enjoy a tour & tasting at a Florida winery:
