Indian Shores is a quaint, family-oriented community located on a barrier island near Seminole, Florida. Its small size makes it an ideal vacation spot for families looking for a tropical beach oasis. Indian Shores condo rentals line the white sand beaches and make for a convenient place to stay.
Climate
Like the majority of beach towns in Florida, Indian Shores experiences hot summers and mild winters. Temperatures are at their warmest in July when they skyrocket to over 90 degrees Fahrenheit, while January temperatures fluctuate in the 50s and 60s. The summer months tend to be the rainiest, but storms are typically brief and pass through quickly.
Transit
Fly into Tampa International Airport or St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport and rent a car for ultimate convenience. Like most places in Florida, driving is the easiest way to get around the area. For those without a car though, the Suncoast Beach Trolley serves the coastal towns from Clearwater to St. Pete Beach. Trolley fare is only $2 and it is a fun way to hop from beach to beach.
