Indian Rocks Beach, the charming coastal town in Pinellas County, is on the Florida shores of the Gulf of Mexico. It is on a barrier island, with a coastline stretching 2.7 mi (4.34 km), and belongs to a larger metropolitan area encompassing cities such as Clearwater and St. Petersburg. It was discovered in the late 1800s, after which it became a famous picnic ground. It now attracts visitors with its lively recreational activities, such as Hallowfest, and a lovely coastline offering opportunities for boating, sunbathing, and fishing. Its scenic parks, such as 12th Avenue Park, are great birthday and wedding venues.
If you’re traveling to this destination with your fur baby, know that you can take them to some of the beaches as long as they are on a leash.
