Your hot, sultry summer comes with a little fall of rain

Southern Florida sits comfortably in its humid subtropical climate, and coastal towns are protected from temperature extremes by the marine influence of the Gulf of Mexico. Indian Shores vacation rentals are most popular during the summer months, when highs are in the 90s and all you'll want to do is lie on the beach and be happy. Winter and spring are both great times to visit, when temperatures dip into the 70s, crowds thin out, and precipitation is less likely. April and November are the months with lowest rainfall.

The shores are safe for feathery (and leathery) friends

Right smack in the middle of this strip of sand is Town Square Nature Park, a tiny oasis of mangroves and bird habitats with a boardwalk snaking around and above the Intracoastal Waterway. If you're lucky, you'll spot dolphins or manatees in the water. In fact, Indian Shores vacation rentals share the shoreline with several protected animal species. Sea turtle nesting season runs from April through October, and shorebirds build their homes from February through August. The local Audubon Society marks these nests when they can, so you and the kids can observe without getting too close.
