Whether it's relaxing at a beach like Fred Howard Park, walking along the sponge docks, or swimming in your own Tarpon Springs swimming pool. Even in the winter, when the water is too cold for swimming (for all of us except the Epiphany divers), the mild winter makes it a great time to relax by the water, especially if you have a beautiful outdoor living space around your pool.
