Tons of people every year consider travelling to Florida for a beach vacation, but get turned off by the massive crowds, traffic, and mid-morning beach DJs. Luckily, you can avoid the masses and still get the Florida beach vacation you dream of – welcome to Indian Shores.
Small town, bigger beach.
Indian Shores isn’t like the traditional tourist beach town, it isn’t cluttered with chain restaurants, malls, resort strips or spring break anarchy. It’s a pleasant coastal town that just so happens to be paired with miles of white, sandy, calmer beaches.
Beat the crowds
Places like Clearwater and St. Petersburg are notorious for the droves of partying beach goers. In Indian Shores, just miles away, you can enjoy the same amazing weather and scenery, without the chaos.
The perfect location, at no cost of convenience.
An important thing to note about staying in a beautiful town like Indian Shores is that you aren’t sacrificing any convenience. Many times “hidden gem” vacation destinations turn out to be isolated from any sort of food, night-life, or culture. Not this one. Indian Shores is a part of the Tampa/Saint Petersburg/Clearwater area, so although you get to relax away from the noise, you are never far from a great bite or cocktail.
