Indian Harbour Beach Beach Parks

Indian Harbour Beach has two city beach parks: Bicentennial Beach Park at 2 Ocean Dunes Dr. and Millennium Beach Park at 2155 Florida A1A.

The city sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon, and its About page invites visitors to relax or picnic at the beachfront parks (City of Indian Harbour Beach About page). Both parks are run by the Recreation Department, which answers at 321-773-0552 from its office at 1233 Yacht Club Blvd. in Gleason Park (Indian Harbour Beach Recreation page). The table sets the two parks side by side using the features each city facility page lists.

Sources for the table: the Bicentennial Beach Park facility page and the Millennium Beach Park facility page. Neither Indian Harbour Beach page lists hours, parking counts or a lifeguard, so those details are not given here. Last verified: October 21, 2026, after fresh reads of both beach park facility pages, the pavilion rental rules, the Recreation and About pages, the oceanfront section of the zoning code and the January 2026 council packet.

Bicentennial Beach Park is the Indian Harbour Beach oceanfront park with a beach volleyball court, along with a large pavilion, four covered picnic tables, bathrooms, outdoor showers, a grill and a boardwalk.

The facility page gives the address as 2 Ocean Dunes Dr., Indian Harbour Beach, FL 32937, and the contact number as 321-773-0552, the Recreation Department line (Bicentennial Beach Park facility page). Its feature list reads: 1 Large Pavilion with Picnic Tables, 4 Covered Picnic Tables, Bathrooms, Beach Volleyball Court, Boardwalk, Grill and Outdoor Showers.

The Bicentennial page says its pavilions are available to parties under 40 people and that a spot is reserved by contacting the Recreation Department in Gleason Park by phone or email (Bicentennial Beach Park facility page). Of the two Indian Harbour Beach beach parks, it is the only one whose city page lists a volleyball court.

Millennium Beach Park, at 2155 Florida A1A, is the Indian Harbour Beach beach park with a playground, and its city page lists one large and four small pavilions.

The Millennium facility page lists 1 Large Pavilion with Picnic Tables, 4 Small Pavilions with Picnic Table, Bathrooms, Boardwalk, Grill, Outdoor Showers and a Playground, with the Recreation Department's 321-773-0552 as the contact (Millennium Beach Park facility page). As at Bicentennial, the page limits its pavilions to parties under 40 people and sends reservations to the Recreation Department in Gleason Park.

Millennium is the only one of the two whose city page lists a playground. The city spells the name two ways on the same page, Millennium in the title and Millenium in the pavilion note; both refer to the park at 2155 Florida A1A (Millennium Beach Park facility page).

An Indian Harbour Beach beach park pavilion rents for $25 plus tax to city residents and $42.06 plus tax to non-residents, with five picnic tables and room for up to 40 people.

The Facility Rentals page prices the Beach Park Pavilion that way and adds that only renters living within the City Limits of Indian Harbour Beach qualify for the resident rate (Indian Harbour Beach Facility Rentals page). For comparison, the same page prices the riverside Oars and Paddles Pavilion at $50 plus tax for everyone, with five picnic tables and a 50-person maximum.

The Indian Harbour Beach rentals page gives one rental procedure for its facilities, without separate steps for pavilions: reserve at the Recreation Center office; within 7 days, hand in the security deposit, a hold harmless form, a usage request letter and the signed policies and rules agreement; pay the rental fee 30 days before the function; and obtain liability insurance for the day of the event. The deposit is refundable if nothing is damaged and the facility is properly cleaned. The page bans bounce houses and water slides at every Indian Harbour Beach park facility (Facility Rentals page).

The day itself has its own Indian Harbour Beach routine. The renter picks up the key and signs the rental agreement on the last working day before the function, returns the key on the first working day after it, and the deposit refund check is mailed within 10 days of the key's return. The official usage time in the approved agreement applies to everyone tied to the party, decorators and caterers included, so decorators and caterers are held to the same start time (Facility Rentals page).

The Indian Harbour Beach Recreation Center office that takes these bookings keeps hours of Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, and the rentals page places the center about half a mile north of the Eau Gallie Causeway, just east of South Patrick Drive (Facility Rentals page).

Indian Harbour Beach's zoning code treats the dune as something to keep, and both city beach parks list boardwalks for reaching the sand.

Sec. 15 of the city's zoning appendix, on oceanfront construction, says the city council recognizes that it is essential to preserve the general elevations of the existing dune and ocean bluff vegetation along the Atlantic Ocean within the city, and it requires the strip between the city coastal setback line and the seawall line to stay at the elevation of the natural dune (Indian Harbour Beach zoning code, Sec. 15). The same section bars any seawall, walkway, steps, railing or other obstruction from extending east of the seawall line, with one exception: wooden steps a property owner builds and maintains for pedestrian access to and from the Atlantic Ocean beach.

For neighbors on the oceanfront, the same Indian Harbour Beach section sets grading minimums: land from State Road A1A to the city coastal setback line is graded upward to not less than fifteen feet above mean sea level, and any structure east of A1A sits at least thirty feet from the western lot line of its parcel (Sec. 15). Owners must give the city a contour map of the existing ground and the proposed grades before any excavation or grading.

The code also explains where the oceanfront rules begin. Indian Harbour Beach set its city coastal construction line to coincide with the eastern right-of-way line of State Road A1A as it existed on September 1, 1985, and it adopted parts of Brevard County Ordinance No. 85-17 to regulate all construction east of State Road A1A (Sec. 15).

Indian Harbour Beach budgets park maintenance park by park, and its November 2025 budget report shows $3,850.00 set aside for each of the two beach parks.

The Statement of Revenue and Expenditures printed in the January 13, 2026 City Council agenda packet, for the period 11/1/2025 to 11/30/2025, lists budgeted amounts for the lines MAINT: BICENTENNIAL PARK and MAINT: MILLENNIUM PARK at $3,850.00 each, beside separate lines of $15,000.00 for Gleason Park, $27,500.00 for the Algonquin complex and $2,500.00 for Oars and Paddles Park (Indian Harbour Beach council packet, January 13, 2026). Both beach park facility pages list the Recreation Department as the contact (Bicentennial page, Millennium page).

The Indian Harbour Beach Recreation Department line is 321-773-0552 (Indian Harbour Beach Recreation page). The Gleason Park guide covers the 27-acre park where the Recreation Center sits, and the Indian Harbour Beach swimming pool guide covers pool hours and fees.
