Florida’s Adventure Coast Gears Up for Another Thrilling Scalloping Season!
Brooksville, FL – Calling all underwater adventurers! Florida’s Adventure Coast, Brooksville-Weeki Wachee is gearing up for its highly anticipated annual scalloping season. Mark your calendars – the fun kicks off on July 1 and runs through September 24.
Scalloping is a unique Florida experience that allows families and friends to explore the warm waters of the Gulf Coast in search of these tasty bivalves. With mask, snorkel, and mesh bag in hand, visitors can discover the wonders of the underwater world while gathering fresh seafood for a delicious meal.
Turn your scalloping trip into a weekend getaway! Facing the Gulf of Mexico, Hernando Beach is a coastal community with vibrant murals and small-town charm. A launchpad for scalloping and boating on the Gulf, visitors can stay at one of the nearby cozy hotels or vacation rentals, dine at local restaurants, or visit nearby attractions like Weeki Wachee Springs State Park. Other hidden gems nearby include NJoy Spirits Distillery, Marker 48 Brewing, and The Mermaid Tale Trail, featuring life-sized mermaid statues.
“Scalloping season is a beloved tradition on Florida’s Adventure Coast,” said Tammy Heon, Manager of Tourism at Florida’s Adventure Coast Visitors Bureau. “It’s the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories with family and friends while diving for your dinner and while enjoying the natural beauty of our region.”
