I'd bring/rent a kayak and cruise the inlets and out to the islands.
I'll be taking my kayak there soon. Be a great way to take in a sunset.
Camping on one of the islands is a possibility.
The fried softshell crab sammich at Frogs Landing Restaurant is great!!!!!
I plan on doing a lot more exploring next time I'm there since I've only been twice.

There is lots of good redfishing. What time of year will you be there? The next few months should be very good on the flats. April/May are probably the best.

You should probably vist the Florida Sportsman Magazine Online forums, go to the Big Bend forum and ask all the questions you want. there are a lot of folks on those forums that live and fish that area and would be happy to give you some insider info.

Some nice places to visit

Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge: A group of restricted access islands in the Gulf of Mexico. Includes a major seabird rookery and an 1850´s lighthouse on Florida´s highest coastal elevation. Boats are available at Cedar Key.

Waccassassa Bay State Preserve: A 31,000 acre limited access preserve between Yankeetown and Cedar Key offers access to canoeists and campers for both freshwater and saltwater fishing, photography and historic site exploration.

Cedar Key Scrub State Reserve: A unique scrub habitat on the mainland offers walking and birdwatching, few marked trails.

Cedar Key Museum State Park Established in 1962 and dedicated to St. Clair Whitman who operated the first museum in Cedar Key. Most of Mr. Whitman´s collections are displayed in the museum. These collections include exhibits on the Timucuan Indians, antique glassware, old bottles, a very complete collection of sea shells, items from the pencil manufacturing days, fiber broom and brush manufacturing, and photographs of old Cedar Key.

Shell Mound Park: A prehistoric Indian mound and nature trail off Highway 347 on CR 326 outside Cedar Key offers camping, boat ramp, and picnicking. Call 352-221-4466 for more information.
