Quiet Beach Serenity
Renowned for laid-back beaches and great dining, Indian Rocks Beach and Indian Shores are where you want to go if you want a quiet vacation that isn’t too far away from activity hubs like Clearwater Beach or John’s Pass.
Indian Rocks Beach and Indian Shores is a lengthy stretch of beach and town that skirts the barrier islands below Clearwater and above Madeira. If you’re not staying at one of the many beachfront condominiums where you can walk right out onto the sand, there are plenty of parking areas and beach accesses available. The beach is long, and borders other barrier island beach towns, so it’s easy to walk for miles looking for shells in the sand and dolphins in the surf.
On your beach stroll, be sure to stop in at Seaside Seabird Sanctuary. You can walk up right off the beach, or if you’re arriving by car, there’s a parking lot accessed off Gulf Boulevard
