Indian Shores Beach

indian shores beach condosEven though Indian Shores is primarily a residential town, they still have a tourist-friendly environment through the use of their white, sandy beach. Indian Shores Beach has two of the towns four public parks, one of which provides beach access and the others providing access and a wonderful view of the Intercoastal Waterway. There is also a fishing pier where residents and visitors can enjoy a day of breathing in the sea air while making a fresh catch. Lending to a less crowded atmosphere is what sets Indian Shores Beach aside from its more commercialized neighbors.

Indian Shores Parks

Estelle Harper Park sits adjacent to the Intercoastal Waterway and provides residents and visitors amenities such as a children's playground and a large pavilion with barbecue grills and a full kitchen. The recently rebuilt tennis courts are open on a first come, first served basis and are free to all park visitors. In addition to these amenities are public restrooms located within the pavilion/kitchen vicinity.

Town Square Nature Park is located on Gulf Boulevard and provides its guests with two covered pavilions with picnic tables and plenty of parking. The most significant aspect of this park is the 800 foot long boardwalk that will guide you through this parks natural settings and eventually lead you to a fishing pier set in this tropical environment. At Town Square Nature Park you can enjoy a quiet leisurely lunch, bring your rod and reel to catch some fish, or just enjoy the atmosphere as you stroll down the boardwalk.

Tiki Gardens Beach Access Park allows the public access to the beautiful beach of Indian Shores. This former tourist attraction is now owned by Pinellas County and has been transformed into a large parking area, providing the public with an inexpensive place to park and enjoy a day on beautiful Indian Shores Beach.

Mayor Bob McEwen Veterans Park was named in 1999 to recognize former Mayor Bob McEwen and our nation's veterans. This park provides visitors with picnic benches, barbecues, fishing and a great view of the Intercoastal Waterway.
