Scalloping in Crystal River
Guests have the opportunity to explore the nearby Gulf of Mexico and discover an abundance of scallops. To embark on a scalloping adventure, one can float along the surface or gently swim over the vast grass flats in water that ranges from four to six feet deep. Once a scallop is spotted, take a deep breath, dive down, and carefully place either your hand or a small dip net under the scallop before gently placing it in your mesh bag. This is an exciting and rewarding experience that allows guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Gulf and collect delicious seafood.
