Crystal River is located about 90 miles north of Tampa near the Gulf of Mexico. This is a tranquil community as you might guess from its nick name, “Where Man and Manatee Play.” Manatees spend their winter, from November through March, in the year round 72 degree spring waters in the Crystal River. You can go swimming with these gentle “sea cows” and may even get close enough to scratch their tummies! They are gentle and don’t mind humans in their habitat. You’ll find manatee safaris and manatee snorkeling and diving tours.
Built around Kings Bay, near the Homosassa River, Crystal River also offers fishing, boating, camping, nature trails, canoeing and kayaking. There are nine area golf courses near Crystal River. Some other attractions to visit near Crystal River include the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park, the Naber Kids Doll Factory and the Crystal River State Archeological Site. Crystal River offers a wide variety of restaurants and shopping venues.
Crystal River is a good choice for a relaxing vacation in an eco-tourism paradise that visitors of all ages will enjoy.
