Destination information
Crystal River is situated in an area known as the ‘Nature Coast’ – where much of the area is rural and there are a number of parks and reserves, ensuring that wildlife and countryside remains unspoiled. Encompassing a delightful collection of 9 small islands in 40-odd acres, Crystal River offers an abundance of warm, clear waters, creating an ideal environment for a variety of native wildlife including manatees.
Crystal River is located on the North Gulf Coast and is just an hour and a half’s drive from Orlando making it the perfect addition to your Orlando holiday.
As the name suggests, the waters really are crystal-clear so snorkeling, fishing, boating and diving are popular – the Kings bay islands are particularly picturesque.
