If a restful vacation is part of your travel plans, Fort Island Gulf Beach might be the perfect place to seek out during your trip to Crystal River. While you're in the area, stroll along the riverfront.

Fort Island Gulf Beach
Located on the West Coast of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, this beautiful 50 year old luxury resort is surrounded by the natural springs of King's Bay. This bay and Crystal River are home to more than 400 West Indian Manatees that migrate each year to the warmth of the springs. This shot of the tree-line reflected on the water was taken from the Gazebo on the small peninsula off of the pool area. A nice place to wind up with your date or spouse and some champagne and strawberries. #treetrove
