Located in the Florida Keys on Lower Matecumbe Key, about mm 77.5
bayside. Park at the Hungry Tarpon or Robbie’s Marina parking
lots. Cache is a medium tupperware-type container.
This cache is located near the Hungry Tarpon restaurant and
Robbie’s Marina, just off the Overseas Highway. From the
cache’s hiding spot you can see the docks at Robbie’s
Marina, which is home to a great local tradition – feeding
the Tarpon (a kind of fish). Take a few minutes to go over to
Robbie’s, buy a bucket of bait ($2.50?), and go feed these
huge sport fish. It’s the best cheap-thrill in town. (Webcam:

A lady at one of the booths convinced us to see the tarpon. Said she would give us out $$ back if we didn't think it was worth it. Thanks for bringing us to this interesting little area.

We fed the tarpon after finding this cache--and we were wimps. Those pelicans are aggressive!
