Indian Rocks Beach has several lovely parks scattered throughout the city. All of the parks are located within walking or bike-riding distance of our rental homes. Pack your picnic basket and spend the day exploring all of the wildlife that call these parks their home. Many of our parks have covered pavilions with picnic tables. Or maybe you prefer to dine under a large oak tree, or to enjoy your meal on a sunny dock overlooking the intracoastal waterway? Whatever your preference or desire, we have a park nearby that will exceed your expectations! The sights, sounds and smells of these wide-open outdoor spaces are sure to calm the nerves and provoke a peaceful, relaxed state-of-mind.
You don't need to "stay on the beach" to "play on the beach". All of our rental homes are just a few minute stroll from their front doors, to having your toes in the warm white sand and crystal blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The City of Indian Rocks Beach maintains 27 beach access parks located all along the main Gulf Blvd. corridor. Four of our homes are just 7 houses away from the 20th Avenue beach access park, one is beachside and has private beach access, and the other is just a few minute stroll to the 17th Avenue beach access park. Limited parking spots are available at these accesses, and if you choose to drive, the trip takes about one-minute.
Take-In the Sights...
Our rental homes are surrounded by the intracoastal waterway to the east, and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Our kayaks are a great way to get-out on the water and see the city from a different perspective. Take some time and paddle to one of the nearby spoil islands for bird watching, or grab your fishing license and a pole, and head-out past the Gulf buoys for some nearby-off-shore fishing.
Looking for a faster-paced option? Then you might want to rent a boat or waverunner for the day. Or maybe you don't want to be the captain... then you might want to consider taking a sunset dinner cruise. Whatever your preference; you'll find what you're looking for, in IRB!
