Yes my favorite place in this part of Florida . I vacation there once a year rent a house on the Weeki Wachee river ( world famous home of the mermaids) It is paradise.. Oh.. the water is the color of turquoise and emeralds, manatees swim about .. water temp constant 74 degrees... Kayak all day in the warm Florida sunshine.
