Cedar Key Marina

Cedar Key Marina, situated at 12780 State Road 24 in Cedar Key, Florida, stands as a modern testament to the rich history of this coastal town. Here, where the waters of the Gulf of Mexico meet the shores of Way Key, you can anchor in a place that once thrived as the busiest port in Florida during the 1880s. The marina is built on land that was once a bustling hub of activity, with sawmills, shipyards, and mercantile establishments that fueled the local economy. The area’s significance dates back to the Civil War era, when Cedar Key served as a crucial source of salt and turpentine for the Confederacy, and later as a Union stronghold. Today, the marina offers a tranquil retreat, its docks and facilities a stark contrast to the vibrant, rough-and-tumble frontier town that once characterized Main Street. As you moor your vessel, you are surrounded by the echoes of a storied past, amidst the natural beauty that has always defined Cedar Key.
