Nestled on Florida’s laid-back Gulf Coast, Crystal River is a hidden gem known for its sparkling springs, unspoilt nature, and gentle pace of life. The town sits on Kings Bay, a network of freshwater springs that stay a constant 22-23°C year-round, making it a sanctuary for the West Indian manatee. It’s one of the very few places in North America where you can legally swim alongside these peaceful creatures, making it a must-visit destination for wildlife lovers.
But Crystal River is more than just manatees. The surrounding area is a haven for outdoor adventure, from kayaking through mangrove-fringed waterways to hiking through state parks alive with birdlife. The Gulf Coast’s charm comes alive in its fishing villages, seafood restaurants serving freshly caught grouper and scallops, and a relaxed Floridian atmosphere that’s worlds away from the bustle of the big cities. With its blend of natural beauty and authentic coastal culture, Crystal River offers a truly unique Florida experience.
One of the most popular destinations on the Gulf Coast, the St. Pete/Clearwater area is the Jewel of Tampa Bay, a region defined by a trio of major cities: St. Petersburg to the south, Clearwater to the west and Tampa to the east.
