Cedar Key
A picturesque, weathered Victorian fishing village
In the 19th centurt it flourished as the gulf terminal of Florida's first cross-state railroad and from the burgeoning lumber trade. However, within a few decades, its namesake stands of cedar forest had been transformed into pencils,and the logging bom ended.
You can take a boat from the docks to an offshore island beach in the Cedar Keys National Wildlife refuge, or take a bird-watching trip along the salt-marsh coast.
Alternatively, visit the entertaining Cedar Key Historical Society Museum, in which eclectic exhibits include some fossilised tapir teeth, Indian pottery shards and crab traps.
At the museum you can also pick up a map for touring the town's historic buildings.
