The thing to do while in Crystal River. You can only get into the spring water by arriving by water. There is a nice boardwalk trail that can be walked if you prefer to just look at the manatees.

Great for kids! If you want to get into the springs and feel the water. Kinda like a beach area for kids to play in the sand. Also has a playground and picnic tables. Very nice.

This is the only "beach" area in Crystal river. Small nice area, sand is soft. We love coming here during sunset. If you want an amazing picture come at sunset, you will not be disappointed! Great during the day as well for kids to play at the beach. There is a dock and boat ramp nearby for others who would like to fish.

If you love to hike or bike or even run this is a great trail. Located just around the corner from the home. Remember the bug spray if you try this trail.

Great seafood with New Orleans flare. We have only ever ordered from here to go, so I don't know about the service but food is good. Mildly overpriced but good.
