When I was about 12 or 13 years old my family and I would go to Cedar Key to fish and enjoy the sea. I am now 72 and I think I will be going back. I didn't realize how much I missed this place.
Thanks for sharing!
#11 Shell Mound. Nice dock to watch the sunset from, amd several hiking trails, including a boardwalk.
#12 Cedar Key Scrub Reserve, a favorite place for those of us who love to hike in the Florida scrub!
We are just happy to keep the jew out. Tony's and 83rd west is great though!!!! If you have the cash for a 5 star meal go to the Island room! Peter Stephani!!!!
I live here and absolutely love it! The best place to see the sunset is from the low-key hideaway tiki bar but other than that you've showcased it well - caught a glimpse of my favorite bar and shop Bonish Studio I&II and Valentine's dinner at the Island Hotel last night was excellent. You might have showcased it too well - sshhhh.
Thank you for your kind words, Kathy!
It is a quaint village. My favorite Monday escape.
How's it doing there since the storm recently?
Very good narrative. You definitely have the “radio voice” that kept me wanting to see it all. Thanks for the fine video.
Thanks!
Yes a very pleasant voice !!!!!!
Video was totally pro!
5:01 I just saw this lady on the news bc of the hurricane headed their way. Prayers for cedar key!! I’ve lived in Florida all my life but still have never been here !! What a cool place
It is. Beautiful piece of Old Florida.
Thanks, been there several times on my motorcycle.
Lived there for about 5 years, graduated High School in 1992
Then moved over to Ocala
Good times there
Thx for sharing!

TALK TO YOU ACCOUNTANT LOL
My profile picture was taken right outside of my front door at the Faraway Inn no filters. Just breathtaking colors. I always rent a golf cart and always have to go over to the airport. There is always a gorgeous sunset at the end of the runway. So i would say 2 of my top 10 things that you didn't mention would be Steamers restaurant and the airport. I love the quietness and hope to retire there.
Loved your show! I am retired and am planning a weekend to Cedar Key's. My Father and I used to visit all the time when I was a teenager. Thanks again brother!
Ah, Cedar Key. The best small town on the Gulf Coast. Not overtaken with condos and urban development, and surrounded by miles of green swamps. Now, that’s how the Good Lord intended the Florida coast…
I love Cedar Key. I'm from the area and usually describe it to outsiders as a tiny Key West.
Breakfast or lunch at the 1842 Daily Grind & Mercantile on 2nd Street...you won't be disappointed....have ridden motorcycle the 70 miles there JUST to have breakfast.
Definitely on my "To Do" list.
6:37 Dragon spotted. Thanks for the awesome video. The wife and I live in Gainesville and LOVE this place!! You represented it very well. In one scene I thought I was seeing swarms of sand gnats that just turned out to be rain. Ha!!! Thanks Again and safe travels!!
Jerry Hack LOL!
Love Cedar key
Thank You - Weather to windy to kayak so off to see your list of must sees!
Beautiful town with lots of history
Agreed!
What a nice place to visit. Thank you Chad and Abby.
Nancy Thanks Nancy!
Me and my husband are going there in October! For two weeks!! I CANT WAIT!!!
Thanks for a great video
The boat drop off at the Wildlife Island is amazing and there's a very very old cemetery on the island
Great video about Cedar Key
Thank you for this. My family has lived in Cedar Key for a long time and I haven't been in around 5 years. I miss it so much and it is so hard to find clear videos or pictures. This really warmed my heart and made me homesick in the best way.
Cedar Key is beautiful! Glad this video helped.
Awesome video man, I'm heading out tomorrow to check out a few of the sights at Cedar Key! Thanks for the video!!! Great job!
Thx! Have a good trip!!
Thank you
Thanks so much! Going to visit next month for our 28th wedding anniversary.
Have fun!
You should also check out Manatee Springs State Park in Chiefland while in the area.
Your videos are the best!!!!!
You have the most calming and professional voice! Love the informative video! I did not know about Cedar Key. Looks like a wonderful, peaceful, charming, REAL place! Too few of those places these days! I hope it doesn't become inundated with people trying to move there and change things! Would love to visit this area sometime.
Thank u!
Having visited a half dozen times you just showed me that I missed so much. Thank you the next trip will be that much more interesting.
Thank you! Glad the video helped.
Great video!! Excellent cinematography and content. You were born for voiceovers, keep it up. New subscriber here for sure.
Thank you, Emory!
Great video, thank you! One thing you left out was the shortest runway in Florida (KCDK) which is on the bucket list of most pilots. Amazing little strip with short runway with fantastic views from the air and ground.
When you go on the sand spreat, carry a small shovel, look along the edge in the water for a small tube about 1 to 2 inches wide and about the same tall, if you are quiet and quick you can dig up an angel wing.
Thx for the tips!
Joy and I were just in Cedar Key (Saturday till Monday). Our 3rd trip there in the past three months! Outstanding place! Thanks for the great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video! Hello from Florida 👋🤠 not too far from my favorite Old Florida village.😊
Great video, I learned new spots to visit. Two of my additional favorites are the new UF/IFAS Nature Coast Biological Station (can't miss it since it's literally at the end of the road on your way into town) and learning more about the local clam aquaculture industry, you can stop at any one of the processors and get a tour (for free) on how they raise the clams that you can eat in town. Very cool.
Thx for the tips!
Nice 1 👍
I think the Pencil Island is really unique.

Excellent video and voice
Thanks for the info and the video. You have given me things to do there. I am planning a trip there soon. Because I have made plans to move from Arkansas to somewhere in Florida. I saw a video about a month ago about Cedar Key and fell TOTALLY in love with this beautiful little town. I grew up in a town/community like Cedar Key where everyone knew everyone, neighbor helped neighbor in times of need. I want to get back to that. I can not wait to visit this town and hopefully get to know, and make some friends out of some of the locals.
Thx Crystal! Glad the video could help.
At #8 you must try the crab bisque!
I hope the town and homes will still be there tomorrow. Such a nice area, never got to go.
Hi everybody. 😁👍 thanks for the trip 🇺🇸👍
You have to stop on the way into town and get some fresh off the smoker smoked Mullet and Mullet dip. You have never had anything like it and sooooo good.
Brought back some happy memories of my visit here in 2011. Did you go to Shell Mound?
My next vacation spot i never heard of ceder Key Florida have to check it out
Preston McKinney Definitely!
You should also check out Manatee Springs State Park in Chiefland while in the area.
Go to the original cedar key a mile out in the water via kayak.
I heard Cedar Key was great for star gazing. Any experience on that?
I stayed at the Island Hotel in 1992
Fascinating! I love places like this. But now that you mentioned the lack of white sandy beaches, how far is the nearest one?
The Tampa area.
ChadGallivanter I’m suprised you didn’t mention seeing the night sky while in cedar key. Just a few miles away from the main town the sky is pitch black and full of stars on any clear moonless night. You can even see the Milky Way with just your eyes. Nothing better than watching the stars and shooting stars while near cedar key!
you missed the sand spreat, not sure I spelled that right, west Side of Cedar Key. Around July, Aug, Sept when the tide goes out you can almost walk to Seahorse finding shells along the way. Did you go to seahorse and see the rattlesnakes?
We’ll definitely do it next time!
Interesting fact, #4 was the original bridge into the city
💙😇💙
You forgot to mention the fact that the Island Hotel is haunted. One of the many interesting features of that hotel.
too bad they did not keep my aunt Lauras house, it was the train station between the park and the tressel
Hl
You missed the two local artists co-ops, The Cedar Keyhole Artists Co-op on 2nd Street has been there for over 44 years and the Island Arts Co-op has been there for over 20. Cedar Key is an artist destination. Too bad you missed one of the best parts of Cedar Key.
We always go into the Co-op and other galleries. The Co-op was mentioned in another video we have on CK.

thank you!
Hey Chad, love the videos. I’m a 5th generation Cedar Key native and I would love to get in contact with you. Drop me a private line and we can get together next time you’re in town. Keep up the good work sir!
Sounds good. Will do!
ChadGallivanter I guess in light of the recent developments with covid-19 it may be a while before we get to meet. They currently have number four bridge closed off and entry is only permitted for residents and landowners. Hopefully we’ll get to meet soon though.
Swamp. Period.
Sounds like a nice place but is there any people of color living there permanently? Just wondering🙏🏼🙏🏼
ABANDON THE PLACE!!!!!!
