Crabbing off the dock is a favorite pastime. Exploring the beaches at low tide is a great education on marine life. Kayaking is a wonderful escape.

Young and old alike enjoy building sand castles. Indianola is home to World Champion Sand Sculpture Artist Charlie Beaulieu. Charlie’s Sand Pieces are often on display in Indianola as well as other nearby communities.

For many years, Indianola was the place for city folks to come spend days at the beach in their little cabins. Then the secret got out and many people decided to call it a permanent home. Before you knew it, large Martha’s Vineyard-type homes were built all along what is known as the Indianola Sand Spit.

Every year, Indianola’s waterfront becomes flooded with Little Yellow Rubber Ducks. Why? Because wise community members learned that numbering the Yellow Ducks and racing them was a great way to raise money for the Indianola Community Center. The monies raised on this day help pay for the maintenance of this civic treasure.
