Cedar Key

How about we venture off the beaten path first? Cedar Key, a town with a population of around 900, is only accessible on a two-lane road. Take Route 24 along the Sunshine State’s Nature Coast and you’ll find yourself in a superb little down surrounded by century-old oak trees.

Here, you’ll find meandering roads to walk up and down on for peace and quiet, possibly to recharge your batteries if you come from a big city with a lot of traffic and people. There are boutique stores peppered around the village, so get your wallets ready, too!

It’s a great place to reconnect with nature, especially with the endangered spoonbills which we highly recommend you try and catch a glimpse of as they pass by the nearby beaches.

In addition to that, you can visit the fishing pier, the Historical Society Museum, and the Cedar Key National Wildlife Refuge.
