The surrounding conservation areas provide this community with a variety of wildlife including egrets, pelicans, cranes, ducks and many smaller birds of this sub-tropic region. The “Nature Coast” is famous for its manatees, numerous large springs, and beautiful clear water rivers. People come from all over the world to scuba dive and snorkel in the Crystal River @ Kings Bay.
