Hidden away on Florida's Gulf coast as it curves upward to the northwest part of the state, a part of Florida's "Big Bend" and “Nature Coast”, you'll find Cedar Key, the ultimate Florida original.
The Island City of Cedar Key resides on Way Key four miles out into the Gulf of Mexico, located just 60 miles west of Gainesville, Florida. Cedar Key is a quiet island community nestled among many tiny keys and barrier islands. Long admired for its natural beauty and abundant supply of seafood, it is a tranquil village, rich with the history of old Florida.
Cedar Key derives its name from a 1542 Spanish map that named the area, “The Cedar Islands”. This was a reference to the abundant growth of Eastern Red cedar trees that formerly covered all the barrier islands in the surrounding area.
Officially settled in the early 1840s, by the mid-1800s Cedar Key was a booming industrial center. The cedar trees that the town was named for supplied mills and pencil factories built on the out islands and Way Key. Cedar Key is one of the oldest ports in the state, originally frequented by steam ships and fishing boats. Florida's first coast-to-coast railroad had its Gulf terminus at Cedar Key, and when Florida’s first railroad connected it to the east coast, it became a major supplier of seafood and timber products to the northeast of the United States.
After the Civil War, the area boomed for 30 years until locals said "no" to railroader Henry Plant, who wanted to build a deep-water harbor and hotel. The deep-water port was ultimately built in Tampa to the south. In 1896 a hurricane devastated the town, wiping out the mills and factories on offshore Atsena Otie Key, and at Cedar Key.
Shifting back to its origins, today Cedar Key is one of the largest producers of farm raised clams in the country and Florida oysters are available all year round. Because of Cedar Key’s rural location, the water quality is exceptional. It is a haven for fishermen, artists, writers, and adventure tourists, who find the unspoiled environment inspirational. Both aquaculture and tourism are Cedar Key’s current mainstays, and to date no industry has overwhelmed its authentic old Florida charm.


Cedar Key Tourism

Away from all the high-rise condos, Cedar Key is one of the few places where one can still find that true old-world Florida charm. Tin roofs, top board-and-tabby buildings fronted by second-story porches that shade the sidewalks on narrow streets; with the frontier mood, nestled among oaks and lush greenery, it's the very definition of Old-Florida charm.
Today, it has become a haven for artists and writers, who find the unspoiled environment inspirational to their work. It's totally walkable, brimming with unique shops filled with local, eclectic treasures and restaurants that beg to be discovered. It's home to a vibrant arts community and you'll find tiny galleries all over town. Cedar Key claims two historical museums, as well as a charming historic downtown. The creative spirit is evident everywhere.
Many people visit each year to walk the historic streets, browse the shops and galleries, explore the back bayous, and enjoy the world-famous restaurants, featuring seafood fresh from local suppliers. The small-town feeling is absolute – transportation is by car, but the road is shared with bicycles and golf-carts. Drivers and pedestrians’ wave to locals and visitors alike greeting each other with a warm welcome to the island. The nearest major airports are Tampa and Orlando, there’s a regional airport in nearby Gainesville, and they also have an airstrip right on the island where many small planes land.
For the nature lover, besides world-famous fishing and birdwatching, you can find fabulous nature trails to walk in the nearby Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge. One popular attraction is the factory ruins and an old cemetery on Atsena Otie Key, an easy paddle over for birding or fishing (and beaches better than the mainland), or you can get there with on of the tour boats.
Cedar Key and the surrounding islands are a National Wildlife Refuge. Federally protected sanctuaries, the Cedar Keys form a chain of barrier islands ideally suited to a vast range of migratory and shore birds, including the elusive white pelican, roseate spoonbill and bald eagle; or families of dolphin in a spectacular natural environment. The Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge hosts some of the largest numbers of nesting birds in Florida. The variety of natural habitats, from salt marshes to Indian shell mounds, makes this truly a nature lover’s paradise. People come from all over to experience the island’s excellent fishing, bird watching, nature trails, kayaking and coastal guided water tours.
Much of the town is on the water. In fact, many of the buildings on the world-famous Dock Street are suspended above it. A public boat ramp with small boat docking is available.
Thousands of visitors come annually to enjoy the “Old Florida Celebration of the Arts” in April, Fourth of July, the October Seafood Festival, Pirate Festival, and The Stargazing Party in February. The island provides a special place in today’s fast paced world for excellent fishing, bird watching, nature trails, kayaking, coastal guided tours, shopping, restaurants and relaxing.
