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.

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