46 WILD / THE CLAMMING FIELD GUIDE

Where to Razor Clam on the Washington Coast

Four areas. Different trips. No single best beach.

Long Beach

Choose this for the Peninsula, Ocean Park and the Ocean to Bay experience. Clam Base at Shoalwater Bay Yacht Club offers a Long Beach welcome before and after announced dig sessions.

Twin Harbors

Build your trip around Westport and Grayland. A working harbor and nearby coastal communities give the day a different rhythm.

Copalis

Look toward Ocean Shores and Copalis Beach for your trip base. Verify the exact approved area and access point with WDFW.

Mocrocks

Plan around Pacific Beach and Moclips. Check beach boundaries carefully. Nearby tribal beaches have separate rules and are not covered by a state opening.

Choose the trip, then confirm the dig

Compare the drive, lodging, access and activities your group wants. The final choice still depends on which beach WDFW confirms for your date.
