727-469-5942 The Anclote Key lighthouse sits on the southern tip of Anclote Key, off the coast of Tarpon Springs, Florida at the mouth of the Anclote River. The area is well known for its sponges which are found on the bottom of the Anclote River and other places. A short boat ride and demonstration of the old sponge diving equipment can be an interesting trek.
But in the midst of all this lies the quiet island of Anclote Key. The word Anclote is a Spanish word meaning anchor. The island is about 180 acres and around 4 miles long, not even a mile in width. The plural term Anclote Keys refers to the many smaller islands that lay on the island's northeastern side.
