Kayak Cedar Keys...
Kayaking the "Cedar Keys" and Suwannee Sound offers the naturalist a cornucopia of beautiful reefs, sandbars, and keys to explore. The shallow waters of the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge are beautiful with abundant bird life, dolphins, and of course enough fish to make Cedar Key a sea kayaker's dream! Canoes, pirogues, and kayaks are familiar sights as you wander the island. We recommend that your bring your own kayak or canoe for an optimal experience! The nice sandy beach at our vacation rental condo Tranquility is a perfect spot for you to launch and we have kayak/canoe racks for storing your canoe or kayak while you stay with us.For professionally guided kayak tours - checkout Brack Barker at Wild Florida for Nature Coast Tours including Shell Mound, Cedar Key-Atsena Otie Key, and Sunset Tours.
