Inside Scoop
For those in the know, Indian Shores, Florida, offers much more than its picturesque beaches and tranquil Gulf waters. This hidden gem is brimming with local secrets and insider tips that elevate any visit from ordinary to unforgettable. Here's your exclusive scoop to experiencing Indian Shores like a true insider:
### Discover the Hidden Parks
Beyond the well-trodden sandy shores, Indian Shores boasts several small, lesser-known parks and nature preserves. Tucked away from the main road, these tranquil spots, such as Town Square Nature Park, offer serene settings for picnics, bird watching, or simply escaping into nature. With shaded pathways and wooden walkways winding through native flora, these hidden parks are perfect for those seeking a quiet retreat.
### Early Morning Dolphin Watching
The Gulf Coast is famous for its marine life, and Indian Shores is no exception. For a truly magical experience, head to the beach or the Intracoastal Waterway at sunrise. This is when the dolphins are most active, playing and hunting in the cooler waters. Few sights are as breathtaking as watching these graceful creatures against the backdrop of a Florida sunrise, and the early morning light provides the perfect conditions for photography enthusiasts.
### Local Dining Gems
Indian Shores may be small, but it's mighty in flavor. Skip the tourist hotspots and dine where the locals go. For instance, the Indian Shores Coffee Company is not just a coffee shop but a local gathering place known for its eclectic decor, live music, and vibrant atmosphere. For seafood enthusiasts, the Salt Rock Grill offers an unbeatable combination of fresh catches and waterfront dining, a favorite for those in the know.
### Paddleboarding and Kayaking in Secluded Waters
While the beaches may draw the crowds, the real beauty lies in the quiet waters of the Intracoastal Waterway. Renting a paddleboard or kayak can lead you to secluded waterways, where mangrove tunnels and calm waters offer a peaceful exploration of Florida's natural landscapes. These areas are often teeming with wildlife, including manatees, sea turtles, and various bird species, providing a unique opportunity to connect with nature away from the crowds.
### Support Local Art and Culture
Indian Shores is home to a vibrant community of artists and craftsmen, and supporting local art is a great way to take a piece of your trip home with you. Small galleries and shops dot the area, showcasing everything from handcrafted jewelry to paintings inspired by the Gulf Coast's beauty.

Winter 2 month getaway
We had a very nice 2 month stay at this really well equipped 2 bdrm condo which had been renovated with a new kitchen, living room and everything you could need. Being located on the 2nd floor was perfect for coming and going without using elevators. Jay the owner was extremely helpful. Was very quick answering any questions and came right over when the battery in the electric door opener died. The beach was steps away. Easy walk to restaurants and short drive to shopping. I would recommend this unit to anyone.

Beautiful Condo with Sun, Sand and Surf
My husband and I stayed at this wonderful condo for the entire month of March. It is located right on the second floor mid building so it was convenient to the elevator, pool, and community room for quick beach access. It has 2 good-sized bedrooms and baths with plenty of storage. At night, we could turn off the AC, open the large window facing the beach, and fall asleep with the sound of the surf. I appreciated the hall closet with all the cleaning supplies and equipment. The kitchen has been updated with hardwood floors, granite countertops, stone backsplash and stainless appliances. There is plenty of storage and supplies. The living room has comfortable leather furniture and a surround sound TV. We loved sitting on the covered balcony enjoying the beautiful views and sunsets and an occasional dolphin. Or there are lots of beach chairs, a wagon and coolers to take to the beach. This is a quiet beach. Not the noise and swarms of people like Clearwater. Get info from the Chambers of Commerce before you come. There are tons of activities all along the coast and around Tampa within an hour or two. And the restaurants are fantastic! It is well-placed between Dunedin and St. Petersburg very near the bridge to Tampa. If you're looking for a little piece of paradise that is reasonably priced, this Gulf Shores condo is perfect for you.
