Riding Spot New Port Richey?

pdfox · #1 10-12-2006, 03:02 PM

Flying into Tampa airport I saw a beach in New Port Richey that looked like it might have potential. I looked it up on Google and its located in Robert K Rees Memorial Park. Has anyone ever been there or know anything about it?

But, the best part is the waves up by the lighthouse

BigR I wasn't talking about Sunset which is close to Fred Howard and Tarpon Springs. This place is much further north. My in-laws live in Spring Hill and I was looking for potential places to kite when Alex and I are up there.
