Old building in Cedar Key
Nice old fishing little town,
In 1989, eight thousand acres in and around Cedar Key were added to the National Register of Historic Places in an attempt to preserve and protect the marshes and wetlands in Florida.    

An archeological park in the area provides evidence of early man's "shell cultures" that lived along these marshes thousands of years ago.  

It's the perfect place to slip into the water in a kayak (rentals are available in the area) and really experience the rhythm of life up close and personal.

The little house that we stayed in was perfect! We enjoyed walking all over the island. Our hosts - Cindy and Mike were also very personable and we enjoyed getting to know them. Cedar Key is a gem for sure.

We used the local boat ramp and it was busy but organized. We lost a kayak paddle during our travels and the local kayak company, that rents kayaks at the corner of the beach, gave us a kayak paddle to use at no cost. The locals were friendly!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Cedar Key is like stepping back in time. We enjoyed the pace, the artsy community and the friendly locals.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Cedar Key is a rustic, fishing town. It had a funky feel. We enjoyed a meal at the Island Room and key lime pie at the Island Hotel.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Cute town; everything within walking distance. However if you are not into fishing or boating not a lot to do. Enjoyed the weekend but would not find myself staying longer
