Islamorada, FL 33036
"Amazing", Breathtaking" and "Impressive" are words we often hear from first time visitors to the end of our dock. What they're referring to is the school of 50 to 100 tarpon who come here daily and linger for hours. Maybe they just come here to see the humans, but toss a bait fish among them and the water churns as these monsters and the resident Pelicans vie for the snack. Occasionally a Tarpon actually rises up from the water in a powerful flash of silver and green to meet the fish as it leaves your hand.Robbie's of Islamorada also offers rental boats and state park tours.
