People looking for a quiet, old fashioned Florida getaway with quaint beaches and lush natural preserves will enjoy visiting Cedar Key on the Gulf of Mexico. In this tiny enclave houses sit on stilts, fishing is everyone’s favorite hobby, and fresh seafood is abundant.
Visitors to Cedar Key can enjoy the Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge, Cedar Key Museum State Park, and The Island Hotel & Restaurant. A shell mound is located in the wildlife refuge that is a popular attraction for families to visit.
The shell mound is said to be up to 1,800 years old and was constructed by indigenous peoples.
