Discover Crystal River Florida

Tourism Marketing & Sales

Crystal River in Florida’s Citrus County, is located just an hour’s drive north of Tampa on the west coast of the Sunshine State. The region offers a wide variety of activities. Whether snorkeling with manatees, swimming in natural freshwater springs, watching rare birds or experiencing fishing on the Gulf Coast. Main attraction in “The Manatee Capital of the World” is undoubtedly snorkeling with the cozy manatees. In winter, when it is too cold for them everywhere else, they gather in droves in Crystal River’s Kings Bay and the nearby rivers Homosassa and Chassahowitzka to enjoy the constantly warm springs. Crystal River is the only place in North America where – after instruction – it is allowed to swim or snorkel with them. During the summer months, the focus is on diving for scallops.
