CRYSTAL RIVER

Manatees & Much More

Crystal River is a quaint community located in Central Florida mere miles from the Gulf of Mexico.  Situated on the Kings Bay off the Crystal River, we are most famous for being home of the West Indian Manatee.  Much more awaits you in Crystal River; shopping, dining, golf, fishing, kayaking, scalloping, bicycling, our Riverwalk and city parks offer something for everyone.  Come visit for a day and see why we love to live where others vacation.

Art Walk Murals

The Works of William Mickey

Crystal River is blessed to have a creative local muralist that has been working in partnership with the City of Crystal River and many of the business owners to beautify the buildings with murals.  Stay tuned to watch his latest creation come to life Summer/Fall 2020 at the new Town Square on Citrus Avenue.
