Cedar Key, Fla.: Sleepy Fishing Village Offers Beauty, History and Great Seafood

 


AAE recently visited Cedar Key, Fla., an island village off northwestern Florida's coast along the Gulf of Mexico. It is known for its national wildlife refuge, a group of islands with abundant bird life and trails. Cedar Key has a history as a busy port town, with fishing and other boats plying their trades from docks in the area. 


The sleepy village has fewer than 1,000 residents, but it offers a handful of quaint restaurants (specializing in seafood, of course), shops and other attractions. 


Cedar Key is a beautiful place to relax and take in the pleasant views of the Gulf of Mexico. It has a laid-back, island-type vibe, so it's a good place to come wash your stress away. 


Cedar Key lies roughly an hour west of Gainesville by automobile, so if you're ever visiting the home of the UF Gators, but want to get away to a quiet, relaxing spot, CK would fit the build nicely.
