General tips: there are several beaches in the town of Indian Rocks Beach, FL. There is a large public beach with lots of parking. There are also smaller public beach access points that you can walk to which all lead to a very similar beach type. Even the smaller beaches have nice boardwalks leading past the swampy land, and basic showers for washing off sand. Great for watching sunsets because the horizon is located to the west.
Nearby activities: Crabby Bills, lots of small business bars and restaurants.
