Springs at Kings Bay

Springs at Kings Bay captivates with crystal-clear waters where gentle manatees swim among natural springs. Boardwalks wind through Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge, offering close encounters with Florida's aquatic wildlife. Three Sisters Springs and Hunter Spring Park provide perfect spots for swimming, kayaking, and observing these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Waterfront restaurants serve fresh seafood with views of the springs. Most visitors rent cars as public transit is limited, though many attractions are walkable within resort areas. Boutique inns and waterfront resorts offer comfortable lodging with kayak rentals and guided tours for the full springs experience.

Most accommodations feature vacation rentals and cottages with screened porches and private docks, many offering kayaks and fishing gear. Getting around requires a car, though the waterfront areas are pleasantly walkable.
