A couple of hours north along the coast from Tampa lies the small, quiet town of Crystal River, famous for being one of the few places where you can swim with manatees.
The warmer waters of the Crystal River are fed by hot springs keeping the water temperature at 20°C (68°F), providing ideal conditions for the manatees in winter when the waters in the Gulf of Mexico cool down.
