Notes

As we suggested in the Q&A, you should try to pick up groceries/snacks on your drive from the airport to Cedar Key if you are going to want them while there. We would suggest shopping in the following places, depending on the airport from which you're driving:

Gainesville Airport: There are several convenient Publix stores in Gainesville itself.

Jacksonville Airport: Use Gainesville.

Orlando Airport: Use Dunnellon.

Tampa Airport: Use Crystal River.

Be attentive to speed-limit downshifts along the way to avoid enriching the local police, especially near Lawtey/Starke (if coming from Jacksonville), Bronson, Otter Creek, and upon entering Cedar Key. (Don't tell anyone, but we drive at 80 mph in the 60 mph zones.)

The last 24 miles on State Route 24 is mostly straight as an arrow, with no visible end point, but we promise that the drive will be worth it. We call it "our driveway." Watch for deer from dusk to dawn.

Golf carts are the main way that locals get around town. If you want to rent one, then please contact Dell at Cedar Key Adventures (cedarkeyadventures.com) and ask him for the "Dace & Simon wedding discount."
