Conch Fritters
Fried Scallops, Oysters, Shrimp, & Hushpuppies
The seafood is all good. Who needs the breaded fries? We sure didn’t.
The oysters and scallops were simply out of this world. So fresh, tender, and sweet, we could eat them all day, every day, forever.
…even if the beer and cocktails come in plastic cups.

Crystal River
Scalloping, it’s what to do in Crystal River.
…when you aren’t snorkeling with manatees (November thru March), scuba diving, canoeing, or kayaking.
(Note: By June, most (a small population remains for most of the year) of the manatees have swum on to clearer pastures. They only swim in to Crystal River in the winter to enjoy the warm, shallow water.)
Guided Dives:
Bird’s Underwater Dive Center
(Dive training at all levels… including cavern & cave specialists)
Blue Grotto Cabins
Fire pit, check.
Small and cozy, it’s like summer camp for adults.
The mini-fridge is essential. It’s a 20 minute drive to the nearest (and we think only) grocery store.
Blue Grotto Spring
It’s hard to see. But, this water is gorgeously crystal clear.
