\nQ: Is there public transit between the towns?<\/strong>
\nA: Sadly no \u2013 you’ll need a car or rideshare. The PSTA buses don’t connect this route directly. <\/p>\n
\nA: Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks<\/b>! Perfect for lunch at Hella’s Bakery before continuing your trip. <\/p>\n
\nA: Mid-morning (after 9:30 AM) or early evening (before 4 PM). Summer weekends get packed with beach traffic.<\/p>\n
