Getting Around

Transportation Options | Getting Around Indian Rocks Beach

Trying to figure out if you need to rent a car during your visit? Transportation options are plentiful in IRB so it really depends on what you plan to do during your stay. If you just want to spend your time at the beach, enjoy some restaurants & pubs, or live music - then you don't really need a car. If you plan to visit theme parks, sports stadiums or other Florida attractions around the state, then a rental car will be necessary. Check out our transportation directories below for more detailed information and options for getting around IRB and the neighboring barrier Island beach towns.
