It&#8217;s on the intercoastal side, directly across from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.madeirabeachfl.gov\" target=\"_blank\">Madeira Beach<\/a>. My Aunt wanted to go and shop and browse and it was a great chance for us to all get together. (Making two sets of sisters; my mom and her sister and my sister and I!)<\/p>\n<p>We wandered and browsed, chatting and just getting out for a few hours. Sadly, we never made it across the street to walk on the actual beach. (It was getting late and everyone was getting understandably tired.) Madeira is really a lovely beach and I was looking forward to getting my toes in the sand a little. For all that we have 22 miles of white sand beaches in the area, I rarely if ever actually get to them. It&#8217;s just not the quickest or easiest drive out to the beaches from my apartment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/giveneyestosee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/madeira-beach2004.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/giveneyestosee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/madeira-beach2004-375x500.jpg\" alt=\"Madeira Beach (near St. Petersburg Florida) 2004\" title=\"madeira-beach2004\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/giveneyestosee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/madeira-beach2004-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/giveneyestosee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/madeira-beach2004-112x150.jpg 112w, https:\/\/giveneyestosee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/madeira-beach2004.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n(An older photo of mine showing one of the walkways leading to Madeira Beach.)<\/p>\n<p>Still though, it was a nice day.
