Shuck Your Own: Navarre Bay Oyster Farm Tour & Workshop

The Navarre Bay Oyster Farm Tour & Shucking Workshop lets you ride a pontoon out over emerald water, hoist harvest cages, cradle baby seed oysters, and pop open briny beauties that were filtering the bay only minutes before. It’s the kind of experience you remember long after the sand is out of your shoes.

Located just 10–12 minutes from Navarre Beach Camping Resort, this is one of the most popular area attractions on the Emerald Coast — and it’s a short, easy drive from the park. Tired of seafood dinners that start with a long waitlist and end with a mystery catch of the day? Slip on some deck shoes and harvest your own lunch instead.

What to Expect

What to Expect

The Experience: The Navarre Bay Oyster Farm Tour & Shucking Workshop is a hands-on, 2–3 hour experience that puts you right on the water. You’ll board a shaded pontoon, cruise out to the farm’s floating cages, and learn how oysters are grown, harvested, and shucked. You’ll taste up to 6 fresh oysters — harvested just minutes before — dressed with lemon and hot sauce.

The Vibe: This isn’t a crowded tourist trap. The farm limits group sizes to protect the bay and keep the experience relaxed. It’s educational, fun, and a little salty (literally). Great for families, couples, and anyone who wants to see where their seafood actually comes from.

Getting There: The farm sits a breezy 10–12 minute drive from Navarre Beach Camping Resort. It’s an easy, straightforward trip — no boat ramp hassle, no complicated directions. Just head out from the resort and you’re there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The crew uses floating cages that never touch seabed grass, recycles every spent shell into new oyster reef, powers dock lights with solar panels, and limits group size to protect the bay.
