Excellent morning of scalloping with the best conditions and only a few boats around us. This outdoorsy family enjoyed their time scalloping here in Crystal River and found plenty for a delicious dinner!

🍫✨ Happy World Chocolate Day from Nature Coast Inn and Cottages! ✨🍫

Did you know? Chocolate was once so valuable that the ancient Mayans and Aztecs used cacao beans as currency! Now that’s what we call sweet money. 💰🍫

Today is the perfect excuse to treat yourself! While you’re staying with us, stop by our on-site Lollipops Cafe and Bakery for a delicious chocolatey delight. From rich cakes and brownies to cookies and specialty drinks, there’s always something sweet waiting for you.

Because let’s be honest… vacation calories don’t count, especially when chocolate is involved. 😉🌴

Come relax, indulge, and make your stay a little sweeter here on Florida’s Nature Coast.
