Indian Shores stretches two and a half miles along a picturesque slice of land sandwiched between the Gulf of Mexico and the Intracoastal Waterway. Indian Shores is known for its Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary that shelters many recuperating birds. The sanctuary rescues injured seabirds, land birds, and birds of prey, which are nursed back to health and then released into the wild. In the late Nineties, a building surge occurred due to land values dramatically increasing, especially on the water. Many of the orignal, single story cottages and motels have been torn down and replaced by multi-story beachfront condominiums with spectacular views. With its spacious, golden beaches, Indian Shores' residences consist largely of low-rise to mid-rise condominiums on the Gulf and two- to three-story townhomes on the Intracoastal. Peppered with well-established, family run stores, mouth-watering restaurants and motels, this delightful city's permanent population is approximately 1,500 people. In the winter this population soars to 6,000 people due to our “snowbird” visitors.
