Cedar Key, United States

Quiet cluster of islands on Florida's Gulf coast

Cedar Key is a small island community on Florida's Nature Coast known for clam farming. It has a harbor for fishing and aquaculture boats and a small airport, George T. Lewis.

The town was a thriving 19th-century port and pencil-cedar milling center before the timber was exhausted. It has since become a low-key fishing and clam-aquaculture community.
