Hidden Gems Places To Visit in Tarpon Springs, Florida, United States
- 4.5 Craig Park (60 reviews)
-Put Craig on your list☺
Spent < 1 hour Parks
From Chamber of Commerce and Pinellas Ave, go west, young person, for two blocks along West Tarpon Avenue. Craig Park has a grand staircase descending to the bowl-shape basin containing the bay. The park also houses Heritage Museum and War Memorial, as well as green space for picnics and relaxation under towering palms or gracious Live Oaks (quercus virginiana). In early June, more manatees lazed in the water than humans in the park. For those with limited travel budgets—like me—Craig Park is a must-see Tarpon Springs site. There’s a bonus that costs nothing: Walk along Spring Boulevard to admire restored magnificent mansions, depicted in the accompanying photos. I felt as though I was on the HGTV set for ‘Rehab Addict’ or ‘Bargain Mansions.’ See more..
- 4.5 Whitcomb Bayou (47 reviews)
-Slow Peaceful Beautiful Area to Visit in Florida
Bodies of Water
Visiting Tarpon Springs is a great trip if you are in Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater area. The town has winding roads around several Bayou's that lead to the Gulf. During the winter manatee's are visiting Spring Bayou (the gem of all Bayou's) to snuggle up to the warm spring water. Craig Park has beautiful trees and benches to sit and relax viewing Spring Bayou and some historic homes surrounding it.. You can launch a kayak and travel in calm waters around surrounding Bayou's and end up at the Sponge Dock area where there are restaurants and shops to visit. Tarpon Springs is a charming town, and nice to visit where traffic is slower paced and is less of a hustle and bustle area as most cities in Florida. See more..

I'm not much of a craft beer guy, but boy this brewery knows how to appeal to anyone! I had the Bullfrog Blonde which is delicious and my friends who call themselves beer geeks loved Chad's hoppy brews and sours too! Great customer service and awesome beer. We will def be back. Also- the bartender was happy to offer us cold water and samples to figure out which beer we liked best ! See more..
