Most people find themselves in Crystal River, Florida for one reason, to swim with the manatees that seek safety and warmth in Kings Bay during the colder winter months.
With natural springs that pump billions of gallons of fresh clean water to the surface, expansive coastal marshes, thick forests, and rich history, this area begs to be explored.
This small park offers a small beach, swimming area on the Gulf of Mexico, a pier with boardwalks, and some hiking trails. It’s a fantastic place to go for a sunset on the water.
Since the bay acts as a safe harbor for manatees in the winter months, you can see them everywhere, making any time spent on the water a thrilling experience.
