Days 33, 34, 35,
Sunset Isle RV Park and Motel, Cedar Key, FL
This is sardine can camping. What is sardine can camping? Camp sites so small that if you put your awning out all the way, it touches your neighbor’s camper. On top of that you’re paying ” mucho dinero” to camp there ($54.50 per night (premium site/water view or waterfront) full hook up).
After our first day, David is ready to book for a week next year. Why?
This is our view from inside the RV.
View from the dock.
The Location, 1.3 miles from PET FRIENDLY City Beach, shops and restaurants. There is a bicycle/pedestrian trail that starts about 1/4 mile from the campground and goes all the way into town.
There are two kayak launches right in front of our site (D).
I am ready to book after we go down to City Beach and it’s horseshoe crab mating season! There are events that I consider phenomena. Exceptional things that happen totally by chance. These experiences are pure luck! Who ever expects to just look down on a beach and see dozens of horseshoe crabs mating? This was very exciting!!! At one point several flipped over and got caught upside down in the surf. This lady totally panicked that they were going to drown. She raced down onto the beach and hopped over and between them. When she got to the “horseshoe crabs in distress” she paused for a split second. I wish I had gotten a photo of her face when she realized she was going to have to touch them to “save” them. But she reached right in and “saved them”! I hope you like this awesome slideshow!
Cedar Key has lots of Old Florida character and natural charisma.
Cemetery Point Park is a must visit. There is an awesome boardwalk, terrific views, a pet friendly beach and lots of chameleons !!!
This is a kayaking paradise.
I am in my Birding Glory! Enjoy the slideshow!
We went to the Archeological Shell Mound and Fishing Pier in the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge 5 1/2 miles from the campground.
E T’s new non-canine friends slideshow. We ALL thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It is on our list of must come back.
I’ve been trying to limit my posting to one for each different stop we make, but we are just having such a good time here and there is so much to see and do, I’m going to make this a two parter 🙂
Glad you have a good time
