Really fun stop. Your family of 4 can feed the tarpon for about $14. Well worth it.

A great place to see tarpons live and up close. Feeding them was really exciting and the kids had fun. The pelicans were annoying but understandable with so many tourists with buckets of fish in their hands :) It's worth knowing that you have to pay $2.50 to get on the jetty and $5 for the fish to feed.
