Home of the manatees! You can literally see hundreds of manatees from about November to about March.  They migrate to the mild waters of the Three Sisters Spring in Crystal River and it is one of the most beautiful untouched sites you've ever seen.  There are many local programs to kayak and swim with the manatees.

Our little beach. It's small but nice! You may even get to visit with the dolphins that are often seen frolicking inside the swimming area!
