About Laughing Lizard Bed and Breakfast

The Laughing Lizard Bed and Breakfast and Indian Rocks Beach are more than just great sunsets and waves lapping at the shore.  Wonderful restaurants, museums, shops are close by. Located in the quaint island community of Indian Rocks Beach just south of Clearwater Beach in the Tampa Bay area on Florida’s west coast, this casual B & B is a contemporary throwback to the cottage-style architecture that speaks to Indian Rocks Beach's roots. Fifty-six windows offer an eyewitness view of beach life as it happens on Gulf Boulevard, the main thoroughfare in a barrier island beach community termed by a USA Today article as "the best beach town of all." Creatively colorful and eclectic guestrooms — all with private baths — make beach life as exciting indoors as it is outdoors.
