I would really appreciate your help!

I am a single, 39 year old female from Canada who is planning on spending 8 weeks by myself at the beach this summer.

I am looking at small efficiencies - one is advertised as being in Treasure Island, the other in John's Pass. Are these the same location? Ideally I'd like to wake up, walk on the beach, go to a yoga class, hit a driving range, and have a drink or dinner somewhere and work on writing a book. Can someone recommend specific places? A gym or driving range perhaps? Is this kind of day even possible in Treasure Island or John's Pass or would I have to be driving all over the city to do these kinds of activities?

I'm looking for a safe, friendly location and perhaps some kind of social life too! I wouldn't mind a summer romance... Any suggestions for things to do or places to hang our where I won't look crazy by myself? Or is this a crazy idea???

Thanks so much!

Either place you could probably do all things close by except the driving range

Johns Pass is a lively little place and is at the southern end of Madeira Beach, Treasure island is a short walk over the pass (Johns Pass)
you'll have ample beach to walk in either area however you will have to cross the bridge at Johns Pass.
A quick Google comes up with a driving range on Treasure island, looks to be about a 20 minute walk from Johns Pass
Treasure Island Golf, Tennis & Recreation Center - Public, Treasure Island

Ooops just noticed it doesnt have a driving range, but at $8 for playing why not just join a group and play a round..

Looking north you can see the pass

Anyone else have any ideas for things to do every day? Yoga studios or places to hang out and meet people? This is the vacation of a lifetime for me....I hope it is everything I am hoping for!

If you are going to be there 8 weeks i'd say Google will show you where everything is just focus on these communities remembering you'll be at the southern end of Madeira beach.If you dont have a car then buses run up and down the entire beach area..
