Here's your guide to making the most of this local activity!

Where to Find Scallops in Cape San Blas

Knowing where to find these delectable treasures is essential to kickstart your scalloping journey in Gulf County. Scallops prefer clear waters ranging from 4 to 8 feet deep, often found near sea-grass beds. A rented boat can be a valuable ally, providing a restful spot to store your harvest as you snorkel and collect.

What You'll Need for Scalloping

Before you dive into the Gulf waters, a few essentials are to ensure a successful scalloping adventure. First and foremost, secure a saltwater Florida Fishing License to participate. As you venture into the water, a dive flag becomes a crucial safety measure, alerting fellow boaters to your presence. Equip yourself with snorkeling gear, fins, and sunscreen, and prepare to dive into the warm Gulf embrace.

Once fully geared up, immerse yourself in the water and gather these fascinating creatures. A word of caution: scallops can pinch! Carrying a mesh bag, ice, or a live well on your boat will aid in preserving your harvest until you return to the shore.
