CEDAR KEY TRANQUILITY -- PART 9


FIND OLD FLORIDA IN CEDAR KEY


Better news is that several of the bridges also feature turn off points for public parks along the watery bayous, inlets and other bodies of water that support commercial clam farms and other seafood harvesting. 

The park at No. 4 Bridge features an accessible fishing pier, van-width parking and clean, barrier-free restroom.

Right in town, the Cemetery Point Park features a wheelchair-accessible boardwalk that weaves over wetlands and returns to the accessible parking spaces. 

It indeed is next to the historic town Cemetery, which is a bit too hilly to wheel through, but can be enjoyed by a slow car ride past its aged headstones and mature trees.

Back in town, one of the best waterfront sites is a pile of rotting wood ruins. 

The Honeymoon Cottage is the nickname for a house on stilts out in the Gulf, but close to the shore.

Perhaps the most photographed image in all of Cedar Key, the cottage used to be connected to the mainland by a 300-foot boardwalk.

STORY CONTINUES TOMORROW -- APRIL 10
