Best Beach in Indian Shores

"There's lots more to do: stroll through Clearwater Beach, browse the different shops at Treasure Trove Mini Mall & Consignments, view the masterpieces at Stirlng Art Studios and Gallery, and explore the world behind art at The Ringling. To see photos, traveler tips, and more tourist information, use the Clearwater tour planner."

"Other good options are St. Pete Beach and Caladesi Island. Accessing St. Pete Beach involves finding a parking space, feeding a meter, and carrying all your gear to the beach. The payoff is sparkling clear water, and soft, white sand. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available for rent, and playgrounds sit directly on the beach."

"Have breakfast at the Vinoy, then drive half an hour either to the lively St. Pete Beach or to the more isolated Fort De Soto Park. Have some fun in the sun before enjoying a sunset dinner at The Hurricane in St. Pete Beach. Stay the night at the Sirata Beach Resort."

"If you're vacationing in Tampa and are looking for a beach close by that offers powdery white sand for lounging, calm water for cooling off and shelters for picnics, then Davis Beach is for you. This is the closest beach to downtown Tampa and the locals' favorite tailgate spot. Davis offers ideal proximity to the airport for travelers who value efficiency."

"Ybor's City's finest Hole in the Wall”…Reservoir is a cutesy dive bar, more low key than Bradley's, with a friendly local crowd where everyone knows everyone. Sunday afternoons are the best time to come when they have their 2 for 1 happy hour until 7pm. It's super relaxed and a great place to make new friends, whether over a few rounds of pool or over a heated argument over Monopoly… Lesson learnt: never play Monopoly with Seby ever again…!"

"Self-dubbed as the “finest Hole in the Wall” in Ybor City, Reservoir Bar is a no-frills dive bar ideal for a laid-back evening of pool, darts, and alcohol. The vibe is ultra-relaxed without ever skewing towards sloppy. Think dark lighting, walls dripping in movie memorabilia, and a clean, albeit graffiti-laden, bathroom."

"If you like seafood and being by the water, customers say it doesn’t get much better than Circles Bar and Grill in Apollo Beach. This restaurant lies right on the Apollo Beach Marina and is Tampa’s premier Bayfront for all things good food and entertainment. It’s no wonder why this eatery is known as one of the best waterfront restaurants in Tampa bay."

"Upper Tampa Bay Conservation Park was founded in 1982 to ensure a safe area for nature study and community recreation. The park consists of 596 acres and is home to important coastal habitat and ecological groups. You will find mangrove forests, freshwater marshes, coastal hammocks, salt marshes, and pine flatwoods."

"I stumbled upon Upper Tampa Bay Park last year while house-hunting, and even though my visit was short, I was really impressed by how beautiful the park was. Located right on the bay, between Oldsmar and Town ‘n’ Country, the park is open year-round from 8 a.m."

"After having worked at a vegan restaurant that closed down, chef Kyoko Faison wanted to see Tampa have more vegan restaurants. So she took matters into her own hands and opened Pure Kitchen, a grab-and-go take-out place offering hearty globally-inspired entrées, salads, and desserts. Perfect for the business crowd during busy lunchtime hours, they also offer meal delivery (South Tampa area) and catering services."
