Cedar Key Beaches

Looking for a chill, old-Florida beach vibe? I found it in Cedar Key—and you will too. I discovered quiet spots perfect for kayaking, birdwatching, or just kicking back with a book. These peaceful Cedar Key beaches offer calm waters, charming views, and the kind of laid-back atmosphere that makes you want to stay all day.

Highlights:

• Relax at Cedar Key Beach Park—I laid out a blanket, listened to the gentle waves, and enjoyed a picnic with a view. You’ll love how peaceful it feels.
• Watch the sunset from Dock Street Beach—I caught one of the most beautiful sunsets here, and you can too. Bring a chair and just breathe it in.
• Explore Atsena Otie Key—I took a short boat ride over and had the beach nearly to myself. It’s perfect for shelling and quiet walks along the shore.
• Kayak through calm waters—I paddled out and found hidden beach spots on nearby islands. If you love exploring, you’ll have a blast.
• Enjoy the small-town charm—I spent time near the city beach, where waterfront views and friendly locals make it feel like you’ve stepped back in time.
