 7/24/2005 - Nice spot. However, be prepared to pay the price for your 4'cab ride to town. A family of 4 will cost you $5.00 per person/one way!
4/6/2006 - 04/06/06 - The field is unattended, with 8 paved tie down spaces at the approach end of 5, and you can also park on the grass on the grass on the NW side of the runway. You should take the cab ($5 per person) to the main part of town. From there, you can rent a bike, scooter, golf cart or walk. There are several great resturants and shops. We ate at "The Captains Table" that had great food and a great water view as well. I heard the other resturants are also excellent. You can get a boat tour of the other keys, or rent a boat and explore the area your self. The runway is rated as fair, but I would classify it as good. When I arrived the wind was light, and the pattern and landing was easy. But I talked to some pilots there, that said some days it gets a little gusty, making the approach and landing a little challenging. We had a great time there and plan to return.
2/22/2009 - Flew to Cedar Key from Sarasota yesterday 2/21/09. First Cross-Country as a Private Pilot. Don't let them scare you about the size of the runway, we had no trouble landing with about an 80 degree 10knot cross wind. Took off again with no trouble, C-172. We parked on the north side in the grass field since the parking area was already full. We rode Judie's taxi into town $5/each, each way, and contacted her on the CTAF. Next time we will plan ahead and spend the night, oysters are in season and are some of the best we have had. The town is small but fun, the fishing looks like it would be great and there are plenty of charters or rental boats. The whole town is art, knick-nack, antique and fun little shops and a lot of restaurants with really good sea food. We ate at the Raw Bar which was really good, even had live music. We also ate at the Dock Side Depot, the clams were excellent, the Red Fish Chowder needed a little something but was good.
3/22/2010 - this is our favorite fly in destination. We fly down from Atlanta. We generally walk into town. We take binoculars and camera. There are always beautiful birds to see blue heron, osprey, even bald eagles
We usually eat at the seabreeze restaurant. Great seafood.

3/25/2010 - This place is the best kept secret in Florida. I've visited several times and always had a great time! A quaint small town within walking distance but I preferred to take a taxi. The taxi driver monitors unicom frequency and she's always there within minutes. After a visit in the shops and restaurants she's only a cellphone call away. I had a great time on a golf cart just touring the streets and even a visit to a small museum with lots of local history. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

3/25/2010 - Flew to Cedar Key from Ocala in my most special friend's 1946 Aeronca Champ. Had a little tail wheel problem and was helped by a friendly fellow pilot who lives next to the runway. Rode into town in that famous taxi. We rented a golf cart and explored the area. Walked on the beach, had the famous delicious hearts of palm salad with sherbet, enjoyed raw osters, visited the old cemetery, and when our visit was over, took off from that fantastic oceanview runway at George Lewis Airport. Glancing back toward Cedar Key, viewed a beautiful sunset. A perfect ending to a perfect day. Would love to return sometime soon.

6/20/2010 - Been there twice in May. I recommend Tony's on 2nd. Street. The food is very good. Grouper sandwich was cooked perfectly and very tasty. Judy the taxi driver will call you as soon as you announce on CTAF. Nice lady with great service and worth the $5 per head just for the conversation. Feels like you are in the Keys!
