Latest reviews on Cedar Key's beaches

Fort island beach

10 Darren Wilson

This beach is a charming little spot with soft sand. It's quite small, only taking about two minutes to walk from one end to the other. The water isn't crystal clear, and at times, you may find some weeds along the shoreline. There are five single picnic tables and two double picnic tables, all of which are covered. Additionally, there is another covered area where there should be an additional picnic table. These covered areas are situated on concrete slabs. Restrooms are available for visitors. Towards the northern end of the beach, there is a short boardwalk that meanders through the trees and leads to the Roger Batchelor Pier. It's a delightful local beach, especially suitable for children, as there are no hazardous rip tides or sudden drop-offs. Unfortunately, it's disheartening to see that some thoughtless individuals leave their trash behind.

The warmest month during the year in this area is August, with the air temperature rising up to 29.8°C and the water temperature up to 31°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 18.2°C and the water temperature down to 16.9°C.
