Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge

The Old pencil mill remains at Atsena Otie (the original cedar key) Key, only 1/2 mile paddle away from Cedar Key marina. #island #kayaking

Historic cemetery on the remote Atsena Otie Key. You can only get to the island by boat (or kayak as I did this day). No longer inhabited by humans, this tiny island offers secluded beaches, short hiking trails and a wonderful paddle.

How to have a sugar white #beach all to yourself...Step One go to Cedar Key Florida. Step Two: kayak out to Atsena Otie Key while dolphins play all around you (they have reasonably priced rentals in Cedar Key). Step Three: park your kayaks at the island, relax and enjoy. Life is Good. Optional: bring along some friends, dogs and have a picnic.

“If I had wings I would fly,
I'd soar on high where only eagles dare
I'd let them rip, I'd let them tear,
until all that remained was me bare.”
― Michelle Horst, Wake Me Up
