Fred Howard Park

Fred Howard Park is a popular beach and nature preserve located on the north end of Tampa Bay's barrier islands. The Park is connected by a mile-long causeway to the charming town of Tarpon Springs which is home to the area's famous Sponge Docks and a delicious concentration of authentic Greek restaurants. In addition to allowing visitors access to white sand expanses, the Park offers protection to endangered Florida habitat. Visitors are likely to catch glimpses of local wildlife, including nesting ospreys and eagles, as well as dolphins and manatees. Amenities include picnic areas and playgrounds.
