Lil Shark Park — Attraction in Cedar Key

Cedar Key isn't huge and so there aren't too many places to "beach" but this is the only one I spotted. I found easy parking (no shade) that was close enough that I could plug my Sprinter van into one of the chargers for some free electricity to power up the house battery.

I managed to get here early enough to have one of the "first come, first served" pavilions that had a working power outlet. Sitting here for a couple of hours with my laptop while watching the people coming and going and with the beach right over there, it was perfection. There's even a public restroom and they have BBQ grills.

This is a wonderful spot. Enjoy and don't forget to support local vendors and restaurants. Prickly Palm is...

Horse flies biting, the water was brown, murky and smelled so bad. The ground in the water was nasty mud, only sand is obviously imported sand on the beach. Anyone who ventured into the water had cramps and diarrhea for the next 3 days. Stay away from this...

This is a small beach park. It has a large playground with basketball area. Nice restrooms and a wash off area for after the beach play.

Golf carts can be rented. Beach is on the smaller side but not crowded. White sand not crushed shell. If your in the area stop and teater totter, take a walk along the water and see...
