Cedar Key is a tranquil island on the Gulf Coast of Central West Florida. In 2009, Cedar Key received two great honors: it was named the USDA Rural Community for 2009, and was voted the “Best Weekend Getaway” in Florida Monthly Magazine’s Best of Florida competition. Seems like the kind of place you ought to visit, doesn’t it? Cedar Key bed and breakfasts innkeepers are ready to welcome you.
“Key” is derived from the Spanish “Cayo”, meaning small island. Cedar Key is nestled among many such small islands, some of which are uninhabited. Rent a canoe or kayak (or skip the exercise and choose a motorboat) and head out to explore these little treasures. Swimming beaches are scattered here and there on the islands, where picnics can be spread out upon white sands. It’s the perfect activity for a warm, lazy day. (more…)
