Indian Shores + Pinellas Gulf Coast

What’s happening near the beach

Build your Indian Shores beach week around seafood festivals, waterfront sunsets, local markets and seasonal celebrations—then come home to the Gulf.

Less searching. More beach time.

Indian Shores has a quieter, residential feel, but many of the Pinellas Gulf Coast’s best events are an easy drive away in Madeira Beach, Clearwater Beach and St. Petersburg. We highlight the most useful options for guests staying at Seagate 207.
