Williston is the county’s “make a day of it” town. It has a real small-town downtown feel, local restaurants and coffee stops, and several of Levy County’s most unique attractions clustered nearby.
Best Season: Year-round; spring and fall are especially nice

Good for: Lunch, coffee, shopping, family stops
Spend money here: Build a day around Cedar Lakes, Devil’s Den, or Blue Grotto, then stop at places like Sad Donkey Coffee, Sister’s Place, Pyper Kub Restaurant, Flamingo Freeze, Kingfisher Coffee, or The Chocolate Station. Hours can change, so check before you drive.
