Tarpon feeding is part of the dockside story.
Year-round resident tarpon gather behind the ship store, often near the filet tables. Depending on the day, visitors may also see goliath grouper, nurse sharks, manatees, and other dockside wildlife.
Ask staff for the right place to stand, what is allowed, and what conditions are like before feeding or bringing children onto the dock.
