It was a nice evening and a good meal. The restaurant is located in the area on your right before you make a sharp left that would take you to Ponte Vedra. Check before going for better directions. Charlie's Seafood Restaurant in Crystal River on the Gulf Coast serves good fresh seafood in a pleasant, family atmosphere. We have been fortunate enough to get a table by the window on occasion and the view is quite lovely.
Many seagulls like to perch on the deck and rails.
Fishing boats come and go. The sun setting on the water is beautiful. The clam chowder is full of clams and exceptionally good - no raw flour taste here. Fresh mullet in season is available but what we saw served was large pieces. Friends have eaten and enjoyed the catfish.
