CEDAR KEY TRANQUILITY -- PART 6



FIND OLD FLORIDA IN CEDAR KEY


You truly can take a long peaceful nap, enjoying your privacy. 

The area is so safe and tranquil that we basically checked ourselves in.

We knew the name of our room, opened the door, found the key on the night stand, dragged the luggage inside and took up residence for three days.

The only drawback when we stayed is that the place was a little too tranquil.

At least one made from scratch breakfast was replaced with microwave fare and we never got to chit chat with the innkeepers to get their suggestions on local legends, dining and more. 

In all fairness, one of the owners was gravely ill and a friend of theirs was called in to pinch hit. 

Though her breakfasts were less than memorable, she did go on a pizza run for us when the local delivery joint’s driver never showed.

Dock Street is the big waterside attraction in Cedar Key. Roughly a dozen bars, restaurants, and shops rest on stilts out over the warm waters of the Gulf. 

The good news is that the sidewalks are plenty wide for wheelers and there are lots of curbcuts. 

The bad news is that a few of the places can be reached only by steps, so Dock Street is not 100 percent accessible to wheelchair-using visitors.
