About this swimming hole
Home of the famous performing mermaids since 1947, Weeki Wachee's first-magnitude spring also offers a natural swimming area and the lazy Weeki Wachee River. Buccaneer Bay's slides sit alongside the spring, but the swim beach and crystal water are the real draw. Watch for manatees drifting through in winter.
