It has been an interesting winter and we know most of you folks up north do not want to hear about the weather down here in Florida – unless of course you are on your way down here for a well deserved break from the ice and snow!
The weather here on the West Coast of Florida near Tampa Bay is temperate. Tampa Bay is actually a dividing point in central Florida between the Semi-Tropical and Sub Tropical climates. Here in Indian Rocks Beach we are north of the mouth of Tampa Bay. This means in the summer we are not quite as hot as those folks who lie South of the bay and in the winter we get a bit more of the cold in cold snaps. Some of the plants are different here than in the more souther part of our area but our beaches are just as white and some say the sand is much more comfortable for the toes here at Indian Rocks Beach.

Indian Rocks Beach is less than three miles along the Gulf of Mexico and, like its neighboring barrier islands, waterfront property faces either the Gulf or the Intracoastal Waterway. At some points along this narrow piece of land you can view both bodies of water.
Indian Rocks Beach
Indian Rocks Beach A quiet town of approximately 4,000, Indian Rocks Beach was initially developed in the 1920’s as a weekend getaway destination for wealthy inland residents. Its 2.7 miles of beachfront are popular with all ages and between its array of motels and condominiums there are more than 20 beach accesses.
Despite its sleepy appearance, Indian Rocks Beach is home to some of the best known restaurants along the Gulf Coast, and holds an Arts and Crafts Festival every November and April. The city’s tourist population, especially in the winter months, is one of its greatest assets.
Our easily accessible beaches and intracoastal waterways provide an array of enjoyable activities for residents and visitors alike. Whether you swim, fish boat or just sunbathe there are an endless number of amenities available for your pleasure.
