Food Scene

The sponge docks are known for several Greek restaurants, as well as Seafood. Our favorite Seafood place is Rusty Bellies, and you shouldn't miss the chance to eat at world famous, Hellas. You can also take a boat tour to see dolphins and other local sea life or charter a fishing trip from the docks. The best part about this place is that every weekend, there is some kind of event, festival or gathering going on. A great place to visit! https://spongedocks.net/

Parks & Nature

Fred Howard is a mile from the studio and is easily accessible by bike, car or a short walk. Outside of the beautiful beach location, it is a park with short trails, places to picnic and fish. It is the place to be in the summer as well as the cooler months for the best sunsets around. http://www.pinellascounty.org/park/06_howard.htm A half mile past Fred Howard is another beach that offers free concerts on Thursday nights in the summer as well as a great place to swim and watch marine life. It is not surprising to catch site of dolphins swimming right off shore.
