We go to Crystal River on the Gulf. Take Hwy 484 from 441/27 at the lite just south of the Market of Marion West thru Dunnellon to Hwy 19 on the coast; then 19 south into Crystal River and a right on W Fort Island Trail to the beach.
About an hour and fifteen minutes drive.
My granddaughter likes New Smyrna Beach on the Ocean. 441/27 north to 42, 42 east to 44, 44 east to the beach. About an hour and a half drive.
There is also swimming at Rainbow Springs in Dunnellon and Alexander Springs north of Altoona - check out the Fla State Parks website.
