Summer on Florida’s Adventure Coast, Brooksville-Weeki Wachee means spending time on and in the water, whether kayaking, boating, or diving into Florida’s amazing springs and coastal waters. For those who seek the perfect summer getaway in spending time out on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, boating, snorkeling, and enjoying some tasty seafood - Scalloping is the ideal choice!

Florida’s annual bay scallop harvest season runs from July 1 through September 24 on Florida’s Adventure Coast. A fun activity for kids and adults alike; scallop diving is like an underwater treasure hunt, where visitors snorkel and dive in search of the tasty mollusks. All that is needed is a mask, snorkel, fins, and a mesh bag to collect the catch.

Scalloping on Florida’s Adventure Coast

For a hassle-free day, hire a local charter guide who will furnish a fishing license and gear. Visitors can simply show up at the appointed time and place to meet the boat captain. Bring water, sunscreen, some lunch, and snacks on board. Also, be sure to bring a cooler with ice to take the catch.

After a day of scalloping, visitors can cook the catch at their rental or take it to a local restaurant that offers “catch ’n’ cook” and they’ll prepare it. Nothing beats the freshness and flavor of scallops caught firsthand!
