Monkey Island Riverside Resort
Exuding true old Florida charm, this resort on the Homosassa River has a marina with boat and scuba-equipment rentals, a restaurant and bar that overlook the water, and an island where monkeys cavort in the trees (don't go near them, they bite!). Resort grounds cover 9 acres of semitropical forest along the riverfront, where ducks and other waterfowl are common.
