Scalloping Homosassa

Scalloping is a popular activity in Florida because it is relatively easy to do and does not require a lot of gear. All you need is a mask, snorkel, and fins and a boat or Guide. Scallops are found in shallow waters, so you don’t have to go far out into the Gulf to find them. The best place to scallop is in Crystal River and Homosassa. These two towns are located on the Nature Coast of Florida and offer some of the best scalloping in the state. Scallops can be found in the grass flats near these towns.

If you don’t have a boat, no worries! There are many Scallop Guides and Charters that will take you out to the best scalloping spots. Scalloping season in Florida runs from July through September, so now is the perfect time to book a Scallop Guide or charter.
