Centered on the Location of This Marina:

























We stayed at Tarpon Springs City Marina the nights of 21 and 22 November 2009.
There are only four transient slips available so call ahead for availability.
We were disappointed with the narrow, unsteady finger piers. We felt uncomfortable when using them.
In addition, the finger piers are relatively short and could pose a problem for a boat with a side entrance.
The rest rooms are open to the public during the day. A $5 deposit will get a key to enter after hours. If there are showers there, we failed to find them.
The location is great for shopping, eating, and sightseeing but noisy as it is very near the Route 19A bridge over the river.
However, the noise drops after dark as traffic lessens.
A Winn Dixie Supermarket is a pleasant, but long, walk. Walk South on 19A to East Athens street, go left to Safford Avenue, then right on Safford.
Return to 19A by turning right onto West Morgan Street. Winn Dixie is on the East side of 19A to the left.
Safford has a pedestrian/bicycle walk in the median with benches placed here and there.

We were in Tarpon Springs in May and stayed at the municiple marina. We draft 5′8″ and had no problems navigating up stream or down. We arrived early evening on the 15th and left the marina the afternoon of the 21st to anchor near the park at the river entrance. We spent two nights there o th ehook before heading to Apalachicola.
