Welcome to Cedar Key
Nestled along Florida's forgotten coast, The Tides at Cedar Key offers an intimate escape where salt air, sunsets, and southern hospitality blend into something truly special.
Our Story
The Tides at Cedar Key was born from a simple belief: the best vacations aren't planned — they're felt. The sound of waves against the dock at dawn. The warmth of a Florida sunset painting the sky in coral and gold. The kind of quiet that only a place like this can offer.

Whether you're here for a weekend of solitude, a family gathering, or a creative retreat, The Tides is where the coast becomes your backyard.

The Cedar Key Experience
Cedar Key isn't on every map, and that's exactly why travelers fall in love with it. This barrier island community in the northern Gulf of Mexico offers something increasingly rare: authenticity. No crowds. No commercial development. Just pristine beaches, world-class shell collecting, and a fishing culture that has thrived here for generations.
From the historic Cedar Key Museum to the weekly seafood boils at the local docks, every moment here feels unscripted and genuine. The Tides places you at the center of it all — close enough to explore, far enough to breathe.
World-renowned shell beaches and calm inland waterways
Deep-sea charters and flats fishing from your dock
Dolphins, manatees, and some of Florida's most spectacular sunsets
