Food scene
On the Rainbow river. Great food, amazing views. Can get very crowded in season! Tubing ends 9/30 so it will slow down and you can enjoy the outdoors without as big of a crowd this time of year.

Absolutely amazing clear waters. You can kayak in here during the warmer months and it fills up with manatee in winter months so they block it off. Definitely worth adding to your list!

Boat rentals. Never had a bad experience here, rented pontoon more than once. I believe they have other options as well. Right past Crumps Landing and across the water from the Shed/MacRae's.
