Indian Rocks Beach is just one of many beaches along a 28 mile long island barrier which surrounds Gulf of Mexico from the Pinellas Peninsula and Tampa Bay. This area boasts many water sports, which include parasailing, fishing, snorkeling and jet skiing. While Indian Rocks Beach does have beautiful beaches, Clearwater Public Beach (Pier 60), just to the north, is probably one of the best beaches along this barrier. Here you will find amenities such as lifeguards, restrooms, showers and water sport rentals. If you want to see dolphins you might want to head up to Caldesi Island State Park which is just north of Clearwater Beach. If you are looking for a good restaurant you will want to go no further than Indian Rocks Beach itself. If you are looking for something more than the souvenir shops and unique boutiques in Indian Rocks Beach, you might want to head inland to St. Petersburg where there are many high-end stores. The Pinellas Peninsula also hosts many museums, parks, day spas, golf courses and tennis courts. And if you can’t find enough to do on the peninsula there is always Tampa just across the bay. The St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport (PIE, 10miles) and the Tampa International Airport (TPA, 20miles) are the closest airports to Indian Rocks Beach.
