Where else can you go and see the sailors bring in their harvest of sponges? Very interesting place to visit. Family friendly .

My husband & I are on a month long tour of Florida & just had to include Tarpon Springs & the Sponge Docks. We came her in 1984 with our two small children & it has remained in my memory ever since AND guess what it hasn't changed! It's a one off place with colour, charm, atmosphere & oh so... More

One of our fun things to do!! We always enjoy walking along the Sponge Docks and visiting the many shops that are along the way. It is just a fun day!!!!!!!

Tarpon Springs was once the sponge capitol of America. That is, back in the days before artificial sponges naturally sponges were harvested from the sea bottom. The sponge industry has mostly gone and in it's place is a small tourist town. There's a lot to do here. We just walked along the dock and relaxed, but there are boat tours,... More

Really enjoyed going into the shops. Although, it is touristy and a little cheesy (Opa) We found it fun. Lots of restaurants and shops to mill through plus boat rides. A fun time.

Finally got to visit the sponge docks after living in Florida for over 20 yrs. Just sorry we didn't plan on more time to take a cruise out in the bay. Food was excellent, and dock had many interesting shops. And yes, I did get a sponge!

Great to see fresh sponges being hung up to dry. Great learning eperience for kids. Not good for rainy days.

This is an interesting little place to check out. The food is delicious but the shopping is a little overpriced for the quality.

Shop the shops, eat some great greek food and if you are into it do the Sponge boat tour. I personally like Hellas for the greek food and always go home with a box of WOW pastries from their bakeshop. They are works of art that you will enjoy eating.
