Another notable thing is that Treasure Island is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents.

During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.

One of the nice things about Treasure Island is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays.
