A herd of deer can be spotted during certain times of the day. I've seen dozens of them out on the soccer field at dusk. Paved walking trails, a playground, sports fields and an observation tower are here.

Food Scene
This is a must see in Tarpon! There are plenty of restaurants and shops along the Anclote River. Learn about the history of how Greeks came here and established the Sponge Capital. The most popular greek restaurant is Hellas, but our favorite is Rusty Bellies all the way at the end of the road.
Tip: Don't pay for parking here, just go down to the last building before the roundabout, take your first right, there is plenty of parking on the side and behind the building.
