Biking Around The City of Indian Rocks Beach

Peddle power is a great way to get around and see the sites during your visit to Indian Rocks Beach. Whether you bring your own bicycle, take advantage of bicycles provided by your vacation rental host, or rent a bicycle from one of the local rental businesses; cycling is a fun, healthy, and inexpensive way to explore all of the beach communities. Bicycle lanes run the full length of Gulf Blvd. in each of the beach towns, making it convenient for cyclists' to get around the "beaches". Bicycle racks are plentiful throughout Indian Rocks (and other communities), so locking-up is usually not a problem.

The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority offers a "Bikes on Buses" program that allows you to take your bike on the Beach Trolley. They even provide a video that explains exactly how to load your bicycle on the specially designed bike carrier (on the front of the trolley).

The Pinellas Trail, which is located on the mainland, is another great way to enjoy cycling, and to see the sites of several mainland towns. For detailed information about the Pinellas Trail check out the official "Guide to the Pinellas Trail" on the Pinellas County website.
