YouTube Video Description

Join us as we spend another day exploring Florida's Nature Coast. In this video, we'll show you how to make the most of your day in Crystal River, FL. Crystal River is located in Citrus County which is considered to be the Manatee Capital of the World. And every year, over half a million tourists visit Crystal River, many in hopes of spotting, or even swimming with the remarkable creatures. But Crystal River offers so much more than just manatees. So join us as we explore Crystal River. In addition to showing you when, where, and how you can find manatees, we'll also show you around the rest of Crystal River, including the best areas to shop, hike, eat, drink, and soak up some sun. __ Thanks so much for watching.
