North Anclote SandBar, also known as North Key Sand Bar, is a tiny sand bar and party island just…read morenorth of Anclote Key Island only accessible by boat. Because there is no bird sanctuary on this island, overnight camping and alcohol is permitted. North Key Sand Bar is probably the best party island in the Tarpon Springs area because Anclote, 3 Rooker, and Caladesi island all officially don't allow alcohol on the beach but North Anclote Sandbar does. Island Paradise Charters does a 3-6 hour adventure cruise out to North Key Anclote Sand Bar for $25, an island cookout cruise for $40, a short sunset cruise for $10, and even island wedding cruises out to the island. SaveOurSandBar.org was founded in 2002 to protect the rights of boaters that use the North Anclote sandbar, remains ever vigilant, and throws awareness parties on the island ever so often. The sandbar's land use was initially changed with no input from local residents who had been utilizing this land for 18 year. Save Our Sandbar successfully blocked a management plan to protect seagrass by not allowing boats to anchor at the sandbar and now it's still okay to anchor less than 50 yards offshore.

Also there is a Pinball museum in St. Pete Florida that Andy owns and the proceeds go towards the sanctuary. Love all the old pinball machines as well as games like frogger, Pac man, Ms. Pac man etc

Lake Roger's Park is a hidden gem. You feel like you are away from the world, but hear a car every…read morenow and then to remind you the road is not far away. I found that comforting considering we were skittish on the hiking trail with barely any people and lots of animal noises. That said, had a great time. We took the Red Loop around Roger's Lake. Path is a mix of sand, dirt, and tree roots. Well maintained and relatively flat so safe for kiddos and pets. Path is clearly marked and you can't get lost. A big loop with frequent intersections to the blue path. Park is easy to find right off the main road. Parking was easy in the lot with a kiosk to pay the flat $2 all day parking fee. There are a couple Port-O-Potties near the parking lot but none in the park so plan accordingly. I saw several pavilions, benches, water bladders for refills (I definitely suggest bringing your own because how long as that water been there), and there was plenty of shade throughout the park. The views are lovely. Lots of nature to enjoy in peace. I saw a few people with dogs, but not crowded by any means. Also very clean. No trash thrown about. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and hope to go again.

This is a very nice, well-maintained 272 acre county park & preserve on Lake Rogers that is open…read morefrom 7 AM to 6 PM daily. It officially opened in March 2000. A full day ticket is $2 (cash or credit); place the ticket on your dashboard. Near the park's entrance are three portable toilets. There are benches; covered picnic areas (some w/ grills); two water stations complete w/ paper cups; plant & animal signage; a nature trail; & side trails. There are 2.25 miles of trails & three levels -- easy or short (green), intermediate or longer (blue), and hardest or longest (red). They are well-maintained & include the following trail floors: dirt, sand, grass, & fallen leaves. One section of the trail is marked "Birding Trail." Oak & Pine trees are prevalent throughout the park. Due to some small tree roots crisscrossing sections of the trail (see pic), unlike another Yelper I do not recommend this park for the elderly or disabled. There is a canoe/kayak launch area & a fishing area for "catch and release catfish & bass." There's also a trail that overlooks neighboring Raleigh Lake. Animals you may see include bald eagles, osprey, & wading birds, as well as opossums, raccoons, & otters. (We unfortunately saw just ants, butterflies, bees, & dragonflies.) The park includes Flatwoods & oak hammocks. In some areas, the tall trees will protect you from the sun. In others, it's full sun (& hot)! Camping for 501c youth groups is offered @ $2 per person. Reservations can be made for a minimum of 12 campers. Amenities include: portable water, fire pits, picnic tables, & access to restrooms & showers. There are two camping sites; one holds a maximum of 25 campers. The other holds a maximum of 50. Phone #813.264.3806 to book your outing. This was a pleasant hiking experience in a clean park. We came across just two separate hikers in the park-- both experienced hikers...and each oddly masked:) The only suggestion I would make to the park overseers is to mark the trails better; there were no markers each time a trail came to a "V" before separating. It was a tad perplexing, but not a major concern. Will definitely return to hike a different trail here if in the area again.

I first learned about this opportunity by speaking with a (female) colleague at an event. I have to…read moreadmit I was slightly hesitant. I mean- taking your clothes off for yoga...How could THAT help?... Well, I decided to check it out for myself and I am SO glad that I did. At first I was slightly uncertain since I was the only woman in class, besides the Yogi Luna. Doing nude yoga for the first time...I am sure others might respond the same way. I was 100% down to try it, but I was pleased when another woman arrived just as things were starting. Yay solidarity! I quickly learned that being naked, while important (if you are comfortable enough to do it...nobody is going to pressure you.) is NOT anything that you even have time to focus on. this was a professional and soul freeing experience. Professional in that you are being taught by a professional, Luna. You are so busy concentrating on the proper poses while doing the proper breathing, that you don't have time to focus on the lack of clothing. Luna is sure to watch the class to determine if you need to modify your experience as well as to be "security". I spoke with her after class and she informed me that certain poses produce certain ...natural "results" from some men, but anyone trying to use this class as free "entertainment" will be quickly asked to leave. The soul freeing part of this experience is evident from start to finish. You start fully clothed and do a few basic poses. The" freeing of the layers" is incorporated in a very natural way. Again, you only remove what is best for you. I went all in. What i got out of the class was a different and rhythmic type of stretch and flow. It was lower lit and there was pleasant music that didn't overpower her class. I loved this experience and I WILL be back. I highly suggest that you open your minds to enhance your bodies and try this unique experience. I mean...we were born naked so how can THAT be wrong?

The next morning, we arrived at the pickup location at 6:00 a.m. as planned. Dave never showed up. At 7:30 a.m., he finally called to apologize, but provided no explanation for what had happened. This was an extremely disappointing experience, especially given the significance of the occasion and the effort our family had made to be there. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I cannot recommend this company.
