Default Boat Excursion & Restaurant Recommendation On Cedar Key
The bird watching and nature tour of the Suwanee River estuary was lead by Captain Doug from his dock on the Cedar Key waterfront. I think the name of his service is Captain Doug's Tidewater Tours. His cell phone number is (352) 949-1996 and his home phone is (352) 543-9523. He is a very knowledgeable naturalist inimately familiar with the Cedar Key and Suwanee River delta area.

A great restaurant on Cedar Key is Tony's Seafood on 2nd Street. Get their "oyster cocktail"; it's about 24-36 fresh-shucked oysters presented in a pretty seafood plate for $10. Tony's New England-style clam chowder is good enough to justify a 2-hour drive over to Cedar Key just to get some. And their "seafood platters" have more seafood than one can possibly eat for a very reasonable price.
