Cedar Key Florida

The city of Cedar Key is one of the oldest in the state, and probably the best known coastal town on the North Central Florida coast. 

It's now a small, quiet fishing center but in its time, it was a bustling port on Florida's first large railroad line.

Despite the large scale development of most of Florida, the numerous islands comprising the Cedar Keys and the northern shoreline have remained almost totally in their natural state.

Thirteen of these islands make up the Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge, with its bays, marshes, rivers and creeks offering peaceful places to relax and enjoy the natural beauty.

The coastline in this region of Florida consists mainly of shallow saltwater estuaries with little in the way of sandy beaches and that is one of the reasons the area is a popular fishing destination.

North of Cedar Key lies the fishing village of Steinhatchee, where the pristine  surroundings and serenity have been preserved for over a century.

Cedar Keys sunsetThe cypress and cedar trees along the Steinhatchee River are home to egrets and the calm waters attract many anglers for the catches of trout and redfish.

Inland from the coast, visitors can explore historic areas, state parks and lovely waterways of the Suwannee, Waccasassa, Ochlockonee and Fenholloway river systems.

The peaceful tranquility of this region and its river systems are a magnet for visitors looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

 

Getting There & Getting Around

The area is serviced by regional airports at Gainsville, Tallahassee and Williston. The Amtrak stations are at Tallahasse, Madison, Lake City and Waldo.

Self drive is the best option for getting around.
