I grew up on IRB....
Had my first job there... my first date... my first...ummm......well you get the idea....
Its a sleepy beach community just a short drive north to Clearwater and south to St Pete.
That resort used to be called Hamlin's landing... on the intracoastal waterway..... its just a short walk to the beach as well as an awesome kite shop and eatery called Crabby Bills. To the north is a fab hole in the wall for Italian ...Pajanoes. Mmmmmm!
And just to the north...across the street is PJs. One of my favorite seafood spots!

Don't know a thing about Indian Rocks, but bravo for taking your kids into consideration!! I always feel bad for kids in KW. There's so little for them to do, and I see them being dragged up and down Duval Street, looking miserable....

Great fish restaurant across the road from the beach, on the Inland Waterway, called The Pub. Will be going back in November for the BEST grouper ever

Frommer's Review
This open-air eatery is an institution in these parts: Ted's has been around since the '50s. Some folks bring their catches for the staff to smoke ($1.50 a pound), while others figure fishing is a waste of time and come right to Ted's table for mullet, mackerel, salmon, and other fish slowly cooked over red oak. Enjoy the aroma and sip a cold one while you wait for your order.

Shoot me a PM with your cell # if you'd like...I'm positive the keets will go comp...
And Topless' suggestion about the Seabird Sanctuary is excellent...especially this time of year when there are lots of little critters to take care of...they do a great job there. We save about 90% of the birds we catch at the marina, but the other 10% we can't, i.e. broken legs, wings, hooks too deeply embedded, get sent to the SS.
