August marks prime time for scalloping in Florida, where divers can harvest their own bi-valves along the Gulf coast. At The Plantation on Crystal River, guided scalloping excursions include all the necessary materials, from a mask and snorkel to assistance from an experienced captain. Post-scalloping adventure, chefs at the resort’s on-site restaurant, West 82° Bar and Grill, will prepare a meal that highlights the fruits of guests’ labor. —Ally Sorrels
