Hurricane damage

Not too long ago, this was a functioning pier and shack. But one of the hurricanes that blew through Cedar Key ended that. Now, it sits forlornly on the water, a broken reminder of what used to be.

Looking for little fishes or?

Walking along the beach

This young lady is walking along the smallish beach area in Cedar Key. It is used mainly by tourists as Cedar Key is a fishing village.

The coming storm

The Sea Breeze and dock area

The street winds around a semi-circle that is the dock area, which juts out into the Gulf of Mexico. The building on the left is the Sea Breeze, a funky restaurant we've enjoyed for over 20 years.

Below is the same photo with a sketch effect.

Cedar Key marshes

As you cross a bridge you enter Cedar Key proper. This is the view as you look to the left.

Cedar Key Canal

Cedar Key is built on salt marshes with several canals running through it. This is one of the larger canals.

Cedar Key dock shops

Along the wharf/dock area are numerous shops and restaurants. 'Tis a great place to spend a leisurely afternoon.

Sunset at Cedar Key

Cedar Key has some of the most beautiful sunsets in Florida. When the water is calm and the weather is warm, this kind of scene is created.

Cedar Key harbor

Cedar Key is a small fishing village that juts out into the Gulf of Mexico on the west coast of Florida. This photo shows the harbor area between the mainland and the dock area, the latter being a semi-circular area with fishing pier, restaurants, and numerous shops.

Over the years, hurricanes have wreaked havoc in Cedar Key, but the town is resilient and has bounced back. The famous fishing pier was taken out in the last hurricane but is currently being rebuilt bigger and stronger.
