There’s something magical about a Florida sunset. The colorful reflection of the sun setting over the water is picturesque no matter where you decide to vacation in the Sunshine State. In Indian Rocks Beach, we are known for our sunsets, and there are several excellent locations to watch this spectacular evening event. Imagine watching an Indian Rocks Beach sunset from the comfort of a private vacation rental, from a waterfront restaurant, or on a scenic boat cruise. Plumlee Gulf Beach Realty is here to share our favorite sunset spots in town with you!
Indian Rocks Beach Cruises
Several outfitters offer scenic sunset cruises near Indian Rocks Beach so that you can witness the colorful display of the sunset from the water. Captain K Dog Cruises offers private sunset cruises with Captain Karsten for your party of up to 10 guests. His cruises depart from the Belleair Causeway near Indian Rocks Beach. For public cruises you can book a sunset tour with Hubbard’s Marina. Their sunset cruises depart out of John’s Pass in Madeira Beach daily (in season) and include free beer and wine. Along the way, make sure to keep an eye out for dolphins playing in the water.
Watch the Sunset from a Waterfront Restaurant
End the day at one of our waterfront restaurants and enjoy a Florida sunset with a drink in hand. Guppy’s on the Beach serves fresh local seafood on a beautiful outdoor patio. Jimmy Guana’s offers a laidback eatery with an outdoor bar and live music every night. And if you are searching for that perfect date night spot accompanied by a romantic sunset, then we recommend TJ’s Italian Cafe.
Head down the road to beautiful Madeira Beach and watch the sunset from the beach at Caddy’s or Slyce Pizza Bar.
