Something From the Sea

Soak this up – while sponges might not be on many holiday wish lists, perhaps they should be. But we’re not talking about store-bought sponges. Tarpon Sponge Company based in Tarpon Springs offers natural sea sponges for bathing, decorating and cleaning. The family-owned business harvests sea sponges straight from the Gulf of Mexico and operates an interesting retail shop on the sponge docks of Tarpon Springs. Additionally, the company has an assortment of seashells and sand dollars, aquatic and nautical gifts, and custom-made sponge gift baskets.
