If you're looking for a day trip, Gainesville is 45 minutes away from pristine, crystal-clear springs and spring-fed rivers. Our city is less than one hour drive from the picturesque Cedar Key on the Gulf of Mexico and one hour and one-half away from the Atlantic Ocean. Traveling the same distance you can reach St. Augustine, Fl the oldest city in the United States.
