Crystal River, known as the "Home of the Manatee," is located approximately 67 miles north of Tampa on Florida's beautiful Nature Coast-a place where more than half of the land is designated as state/federal lands and parks. This is the ideal place to swim with manatee, kayak natural crystal-clear waters, golf to your heart's content, bike or hike meandering trails, fish for trout, redfish, shark, bonefish or tarpon, and to dine at one of more than 30 on-the-water restaurants in the area. A growing community with a wonderful family-friendly ambiance and warm hospitality, Crystal River is, indeed, the "gem of the Nature Coast.
