Cedar Key

Waccasassa Bay
 Cedar Key is part of what the people, who want you to spend your money, call "old Florida." This sort of means a lack of high rise condos blocking the ocean and Ron Jon Surf Shop. Old Florida is delightful, if too often dilapidated, 19th-century architecture between, if not containing, bait shops, shrines to the one true religion of the area, fishing. The waterfront street has the T-shirt shop, the fishing pier (guarded the the fellow in the lower photo), restaurants, and the boat launch. Two blocks inland is the main business street with wonderful old buildings, a couple of nice artist co-ops, and friendly cats.


As is obvious from the upper photo all the best birds flock here and live in harmony upon whatever that once was. As they say, there is something for everyone. The real estate office had a listing in the window for a private island (cost, a tad under a million). Get it now when you can enjoy it, in a few decades it will probably be a reef.
