Cedar Key...the "unicom" is really a guy in a taxi that has a radio mounted in it. And don't pay attention to the plaque at the end of the runway dedicated to all who have died going in and out of there...it's really a nice airstrip. Just kinda short and people get a little disoriented when they take off to the west. :-)
South of there in Hernando county is Pine Island. Nothing special, just your run of the mill Florida beach. South of there in Pasco county is the new Boyce-Warner state park. I has no beach. It is natural Florida coastline in all of it's mosquito bitten glory. However, there are miles of walking trails and several different entrances spanning a 12 mile range along US19. It's old Florida, before it was all developed. Great place for bird watching, if you're into that. Anclote Key in Tarpon SPrings has just finished retoration of the old lighthouse and gaurd house. it is only accessable by boat, although I believe there is a shuttle boat that now goes out there from Anclote River park. Beautiful island. Honeymoon island state park in Dunedin is accessable by car and is absolutely gorgeous. Down in the St. Pete area is Ft. Desoto, also accessable by car. You must see this park. It is an old military bombing range, so old ordnance is found there evertime a big storm comes through and uncovers it. If ya find any, dont' touch...report it. Most of them are duds. :-) Great white sand beaches. Go south over the Skyway bridge and you'll find Sanibel island. A beautiful resort area. Simply great, but somewhat pricey. Any more Q's, ask...I'm a great tour guide. I'm a lifer here in Florida, a true southerner.
