Indian Shores Indian Rocks B ch VisitSPC.com/IRB • Bordered by the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico, these two small communities are celebrated for their mellow family-friendly ambience, powdery white beaches, locally owned eateries and shops, and charming old-school fun. Play a round or two of classic mini-golf at the locally famous Smuggler’s Cove Adventure Golf , which features a live alligator exhibit, or rent a boat for a few hours at Island Marine Rentals . And, thanks to the district’s particularly narrow barrier island, there’s never a far walk to the shoreline or attractions from the loved ones at Splash Harbour Water Park (connected to the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Harbourside ), where you can speed down two 42-foot tall trip back in time at the Indian Rocks Historical Museum , or meet the local wildlife at the Seaside Seabird Sanctuary or the Indian Rocks Beach Nature Preserve .
