Florida's most underrated summer tradition: snorkeling the grass flats for bay scallops — underwater Easter-egg hunting with a cooler payoff. The season runs midsummer into September, boats run daily from Crystal River and Homosassa, and it needs zero experience: if you can float and grab, you can scallop. You catch it, you clean it (or the marina does), you eat it that night. Book ahead — locals fill the good weekends.
