Scalloping in Steinhatchee is a true Big Bend tradition. Each summer, families and friends head into the crystal-clear Gulf waters just offshore to snorkel for sweet Florida bay scallops. Calm seas, shallow grass flats, and easy boat access make it perfect for all ages—followed by dockside cleaning, sunset views, and fresh seafood dinners. It’s simple, fun, and pure Old Florida at its best.
