We fully embrace Homosassa with its small town, Old Florida vibe. These are some of our favorite places and ways to spend time.

Florida Cracker: https://www.flacracker.com/hom...

Florida Cracker Monkey Bar is an open-air two-story bar that serves food, and our favorite thing to order is their blue crab dip, followed by one of their pizzas. They have a full bar, plus frozen regular and strawberry margaritas. Another favorite drink is the "Real Housewives of Homosassa" if you like strawberry flavor. Isn't that funny? This place is open afternoons - nights. They sometimes have live music. There's corn hole in the yard. There's an ice cream truck out back. 

The really big deal about this place is that it overlooks the river and Monkey Island! You have to see it to believe it. It's a super cute island inhabited by three adorable spider monkeys. Hang out at the Monkey Bar and enjoy watching their antics.  Get there by car or boat.

Marguerita Grill:  https://www.facebook.com/margu...

Marguerita Grill is located on the water sort of on the way to the springs, at the base of the Halls River Bridge. There's a main dining room with bar, and a screened-in back deck for dining.  They have the best fried shrimp around, in our opinion.  And the "Greek Combo" includes a generous spinach pie and HUGE greek salad with a scoop of potato salad hidden inside. Get there by car or boat.  

Crump's Landing:  https://crumpslanding.com/

Directly across the river from the Florida Cracker Resort and MacRae's, you'll find Crump's Landing. It's very family-friendly, and we love going there for lunch, snacks, or dinner. Be sure to ask for a table down on the water. There's a playground for kids, and all areas are open-air. There's a beach, as well as several areas for drinking and dining.  Get there by car or boat.

MacRae's : http://www.macraesofhomosassa....

is a multi-generational mainstay in the community. Besides operating a motel, bait shop, and offering fuel for boats, they have an open-air bar and restaurant that often features live music. They typically play rock music. They're located on the water beside by the boat ramp. Fun fact: they operate a live cam that can be very entertaining at times! Get there by car or boat.
