Located in Crystal River, Florida, United States. STEPS FROM THE WATER! A perfect spot to enjoy all the Nature Coast has to offer. Shell House is mere steps from the water, just off a quiet little cove in King’s Bay, minutes from the "Plantation Resort and Golf Club" and Fort Island Trail beach park. Launch kayaks from the sea wall, bring your own boat or rent one from one of the local marinas, or book one of our fantastic local guides for fishing, scalloping, or swimming with manatees. Crystal River and the Nature Coast is old Florida at its best. From the quaint old town with locally-owned shops and restaurants to the crystal clear, natural springs that give Crystal River its name, there is something for everyone. Famous for our thriving manatee population, you can get up close and personal while swimming with these gentle “sea cows” in their natural environment. Scalloping season, from July 1 to September 24, is another of our most popular attractions. Snorkeling the crystal clear shallow water in search of tasty bay scallops
