About Crystal River II
Our second Crystal River location is at Pete's Pier marina just across King's Bay from the Plantation where our other location can be found. You'll enjoy the same activities: Fabulous fishing, one of the only places where you can fish for grouper in shallow waters. It’s famous for scalloping, and in the winter months, manatees. The manatees head back to the Three Sisters Springs where they huddle and wait for the warmer weather. The water is so clear - crystal clear - you'll love every minute!
Discover one of Florida's most productive and biologically diverse estuaries, created by the mixing of freshwater from stunning spring-fed rivers with the salt water of the Gulf of Mexico. Thousands come from all around to visit Crystal River each year. On your first visit, you'll know exactly why!
