Tarpon Springs is primarily a Greek community established by an immigrant who became prosperous by harvesting sponges by diving.
Although there isn't much mentioned around town about shrimp, evidently there are shrimpers in the area as well.

Down at Sunset Beach, the sail boarders were having a great time on this very windy day.
During our visit to Florida this year we had the opportunity to visit Tarpon Springs twice, both times enjoying the birds, the beach scenes and the wonderful Greek Food. Here are a few images from our visits.
