Review & FAQ:

Cedar Key Beach is the only main beach in Cedar Key. It's a small, secluded spot, so there's not a lot of room to spread out and play beach games or other big activities, but it's a nice place to simply sit and listen to the gentle splash of the waves while admiring the views in every direction. In short, if you're in Cedar Key, Cedar Key Beach is a must-visit location and it never gets too busy, offering a very calm, intimate atmosphere that couples and solo travelers will undoubtedly appreciate. A boat rental stand can be found nearby and this beach is a good kayak launching spot to go on a tour of the local islands and look out for some wildlife.

Cedar Key Beach is a 1 hour 15 min day trip from Gainesville (58.9 miles via FL-24 W):
