About this area

Dunedin & Tarpon Springs

Dunedin and Tarpon Springs sit on the northern Pinellas coast, known for the Pinellas Trail, the Greek-American community around the Sponge Docks and a high share of active retirees. These are our longest-distance service areas.

Local information

• Known points: the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, downtown Dunedin, Honeymoon Island causeway and the Pinellas Trail crossings.
• Common health concerns include cardiovascular disease, COPD, joint pain in active older adults, and blood-pressure control.
• Allow about two hours and 20 minutes each way; most participants leave before 8 a.m. to reach a mid-morning appointment.
