Outdoor and waterfront, frequent live music, great food and drinks. Their playground for kids features a pirate ship. You can also drive your boat up from the river and be served from your boat. Very popular with locals and visitors alike, so expect to wait a little while for your seat and for food during busy times.

Best local produce stand: Fruits and vegetables grown by neighbors and small farms, honey harvested in Homosassa. It's hidden with no sign on Southbound Hwy 19, but worth the short trip.

Neighborhoods

Beautiful and quiet residential area, surrounded by old unique homes and wilderness. Frequently crossed by deer and other wildlife. Locals often walk their dogs, but listen for oncoming cars and be prepared to move to the shoulder on this narrow road.

Consejos para la ciudad

Costumbres y cultura

Inexperienced boaters use extreme caution

If you are an inexperienced boater, stay within the main part of the river, including the freshwater swimming areas near the Homosassa Wildlife Park. Beyond the MacRaes boat ramp to the Gulf is not safe for beginners. While businesses are happy to rent pontoon boats to visitors with a driver's license, there have been too many accidents and even deaths in navigating the narrow channels out to the Gulf (Search "Hell's Gate Homosassa River"). If you plan on venturing out beyond the river, best to hire an experienced local charter captain part of the Homosassa Guides Association.
Costumbres y cultura

River is accessible only by boat/kayak

There is no public land accessibility to the freshwater springs in Homosassa. You must either boat or kayak from one of the local launching sites (MacRaes, Riverside Resort)
Costumbres y cultura

County noise ordinance

In effect both on land and on the water. Excessively loud music may be cited by law enforcement.

Sidewalks on Yulee to the river

Pedestrian sidewalks are along Yulee Dr to boat ramp at MacRaes. No sidewalks on Fishbowl Dr or Spring Cove Rd.
