Explore Homosassa, Florida: Scalloping, Boating & Waterfront Getaways

Spring-fed rivers, Gulf Coast adventures and the easygoing charm of Old Homosassa.

Welcome to Homosassa

Homosassa, Florida, is a place to spend more time on the water and less time watching the clock. Along this stretch of Florida's Nature Coast, days revolve around boating, fishing, kayaking and waterfront dining. Old Homosassa brings it all together with local restaurants, waterside bars and a relaxed atmosphere that keeps visitors coming back.

Scalloping & Adventures on the Water
Scalloping is one of Homosassa's favorite summer traditions. During the open season, families and friends head out to search for bay scallops in the Gulf's shallow waters, combining a day of snorkeling with the fun of gathering their own catch. Fishing trips, leisurely boat rides and kayaking offer more ways to explore the area's waterways.

Our waterfront vacation rentals make it easy to plan your stay around these experiences. Choose from vacation homes with private docks and boating access, with space to gather after a day on the water. Whether you're visiting for scalloping season, a family vacation or an extended winter getaway, Homosassa offers plenty of reasons to stay awhile.

Discover More Around Homosassa
Beyond the water, discover the wildlife and history that help define the area. Visit Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park to see manatees from its underwater observatory, or explore the remains of a historic sugar mill at Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins Historic State Park.

Finish your day over fresh seafood at a waterfront restaurant, then return to your vacation home to relax and plan tomorrow's adventure.
