FIND OLD FLORIDA IN CEDAR KEY
Cedar Keyhole Artist Co-Op
and Gallery, located in the 2nd Street Historic District in a lovingly restored
19th century building, boasts of its accessibility on-line.
Dozens of artists
have their wares on display in the barrier-free first floor gallery beneath the
big open porch above.
My wife, Heidi, found a beautiful Old Florida-style sea
glass necklace at a very reasonable price.
In a city filled with
quaint wooden docks, piers and buildings, Cedar Key's fishing pier is not
pretty.
But the massive concrete structure is 100 percent accessible with a
large, wide turn ramp leading up to several sections of pier that jut out into
the blue, seafood-filled waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
The pier is free of
charge and has barrier-free restroom facilities.
Even if you're not an angler,
the pier provides magnificent views of the Dock Street restaurants, pubs, shops
and barrier islands in the Gulf.
Travelers cross several
bodies of water and bridges on the way to Cedar Key's isolated spit of seaside
land.
A word of caution: visitors tend to soar over these bridges on their way
into town and the slow-land locals don't appreciate big city speeders.
Maintain
the limit or risk paying a hefty speeding fine.
