Cedar Key harkens back to the days when Florida still remained a remote place filled with salt marshes and outposts. Stilted houses and cedar trees give this charming village a backwoods feel with laid-back vibes. The island preserves what Key West must have looked like back when Ernest Hemingway lived there. The charming village of Cedar Key offers a memorable weekend getaway. Guests can spend their mini vacation sipping wine washing down fresh seafood while watching candy colored sunsets. At night, the locals gather at L & M Bar to mingle over a few drinks. Visitors can also check out the Cedar Key Lighthouse, the oldest standing lighthouse on the west coast of Florida.
