I first discovered
Cedar Key almost 35 years ago when I came up to Gainesville to
attend the University of Florida. Since the late 1960's I've
seen the community change in many ways. But the true essence
of what defines Cedar Key has remained timeless. I've spent
hundreds of hours over the years eating at its restaurants, shopping
its stores, people watching on the dock, exploring the oldest
tombstones in its cemetery, and walking the island from one end to
the other. I've taken thousands of photographs during my
countless weekend getaways and my fascination with the town and
enjoyment of its charms remains undiminished. Cedar Key is
always the first place I take my out-of-town guests. This
website is my personal homage to Cedar Key and its people. It
will take you to hundreds of links which explore its rich
history, ecosystem, and small town pleasures. You'll also come
across many other people who have discovered the town and left as
big fans. Use this website to plan your next getaway to Cedar
Key, research the town's origins, find books, magazines, videos,
nautical collectibles, travel guides, local art, and make dinner
plans at one of the town's fine restaurants. You may even
learn the recipe for Heart of Palm salad dressing. All the
tools you need are right here.
