Adventures

Scalloping

Scalloping is great fun for adults and children. Each summer during scallop season, visitors harvest scallops by entering the water, usually 4 to 6 feet deep with a snorkel mask and fins, catching scallops by hand and collecting them in a mesh bag. It’s fun for the whole family. This is our most popular season, so book early!
