Madeira Beach Background Madeira Beach is located on a long barrier island that's separated from the Pinellas Peninsula by Boca Ciega Bay. The island itself was split in half by a hurricane in 1848. Legend says that the pirate John Leveque buried his treasure on Madeira Beach, only to lose it when the hurricane halved the island. The hidden treasure may be a myth, but some think it remains buried somewhere on Madeira Island. The one sure thing is that Leveque's memory remains alive on Madeira Beach. The city celebrates its pirate history during the annual Juan Leveque Days festival. And in 1980, developer Wilson Hubbard opened a waterfront boardwalk that he named after Leveque. The John's Pass fishing village is now among Pinellas County's most popular attractions.
