Crystal River is a quickly growing small-town with many water activities. There is ample opportunity to have fun in the sun! Some of these activities are: diving in the local springs, swimming with manatees, scuba diving, boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing, and many more! There are only some implications: for locals, finding cheaper places to have good sit-down meals are scarce. However, this is great for vacationers looking to spend a little more for great surf n’ turf. Finally, if you’re looking to do other activities besides water sports, you may have to travel 45 minutes to Ocala. Ocala offers ample shopping, movie theaters, restaurants, and activities for younger crowds.
It's one of the most scenic, beautiful places I've ever lived. Lakes, rivers, ocean, forests and wildlife. However, it's a good ole' boys town. Like going back in time a few decades, which is sort of good n' bad. There are a few friendly people here but way more not so friendly, even down right ugly n' rude. If you're wealthy you'll love it, plenty of poor uneducated people you can take advantage of, n' that's the way the richie's like it. Mostly low paying service jobs here $8-$9 an hour, if you're from here n'connected, then you can work for the city or county $10-$15 an hour. People here in paradise, as I call it, tend to have a chip on their shoulders, seem very miserable. This is due to the fact that the old money fights any new growth from happening. Thus, no new businesses, no new opportunities, not much to do but fish or hunt. Way too many tourists. 2000 population, 20,000 tourists = horrible traffic, wrecks, sirens n' noise pollution, every single day. I love it n' hate it.
Wonderful sleepy little town with a thriving tourist community and crystal-clear springs! My family owns a hotel here and we moved down from cold Missouri, so we absolutely love the place!
