For a vacation overflowing with value and variety, paddle on over to Citrus County, The Water Lover’s Florida. Found just north of Tampa Bay and northwest of Orlando, our communities of Crystal River, Homosassa and Inverness are easy to reach from anywhere. Here your family can experience endless aquatic adventure, small-town charm and family fun beyond the bustle of theme parks on the Nature Coast.
The first visitors to Citrus County came here to experience Florida’s natural beauty. They cruised the rivers and lakes, noted the unique vegetation and wildlife, and admired the birds and marine creatures. Those experiences are still available here.Our most unique offering is our large population of manatees. These large marine mammals gather in the rivers and inshore waters where they can be watched from land or encountered in their own element by scuba and snorkel divers.
