Welaka is a quaint town that has convenient access to St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Gainesville and Daytona. It's known as a golf cart community with gravel paths canopied with live oaks. It is home to entrepreneurs, artists, veterans, and even world-class outfitter brands, which is fitting considering the river is known as the Bass Fishing Capital of the world and Welaka means river of lakes.
