Great place to look for manatees and to stop for a swim or bring your lunch. If you want to wait to eat, there is the Upper Deck Restaurant at the end of your trip as well as a small beach known as Rogers Park.

Great touristy area on the water to bring home some trinkets and to make memories. While this is the areas "Greek Town", the Sponge Docks offers a variety of tastes for the palette! Take a day cruise over the Anclote Key and look for shells. Try some Sangria and desert at Hellas and learn about sponges!
