Getting Here and Getting Around

Aerial view of Madeira BeachBy Air. Tampa IntlTampa International Airport was recently ranked by Conde Nast as the #1 airport in the United States and the third best airport worldwide. The nation's best airport serves all major airlines and offers convenient shuttles from the gates to the landside terminal. The airport achieved the third-lowest average fares in one recent year thanks to discount airlines. The airport, only 26 miles from the condo, offers convenient ground transportation to the beaches by rental car, shared vans, or taxi.

Convenient Clearwater - St. Petersburg International Airport (PIE), only 15 miles away, provides for limited airline service. For private aviation, historic Albert Whitted Airport (SPG) in Saint Petersburg is the closest towered airport with two runways and instrument approaches, offering convenient access to Madeira Beach by taxi or rental car.

By Car. Driving here is a popular option as St. Petersburg/Clearwater is easily accessible from major Interstates along the Midwest (I-75) and Northeast (I-95) corridors, as well as Orlando (I-4).
