Feed The Tarpon!


Best tourist attraction in the the Florida Keys!





                                    
 


A school of 50 to 100 tarpon come here daily and linger for hours. Occasionally, a tarpon  rises up from the water, to meet the fish as it leaves your hand. It's a sight to behold! Maybe the tarpon come here to see the humans, but toss a bait fish among them and the water churns as these monsters and the resident pelicans vie for the snack, causing quite a spectacle.

Also a good place to observe stupid human behavior..  His T shirt says "Bite Me".....
