Dig Razor Clams at Ocean Shores 2010-2011

By
Real Estate Agent with John L Scott Ocean Shores 84166, 84088

Clam diggers can ring in 2011 with a two-day razor clam dig at Ocean Shores over the New Year's holiday. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) approved the series of evening digs after marine toxin tests showed that the clams on all five coastal razor clam beaches are safe to eat.

Opening dates and evening low tides for the upcoming dig are:

  • Dec. 31, Fri. - 3:40 p.m., (0 ft.), Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch
  • Jan. 1, Sat. - 4:31 p.m., (-0.4 ft.), Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch

Digs shown above are scheduled on afternoon tides. No digging will be allowed before noon on any of these dates. WDFW will announce additional digs for 2011 later this year.

All diggers age 15 or older must have an applicable 2010-11 fishing license to harvest razor clams on any beach. Licenses, ranging from a three-day razor clam license to an annual combination fishing license, are available on WDFW's website at https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov and from license vendors around the state.

To prevent injury to both shellfish and people, please fill in the holes you dig.

April 25, 2009 catch!  

Best digging occurs between 1 and 2 hours before low tide. Harvesters are allowed to take no more than 15 razor clams and must keep the first 15 they dig, regardless of size or condition. Each digger's clams must be kept in a separate container. You can purchase your gear and a license at ACE Hardware in Ocean Shores.

    Steven, thanks for taking me back to my youth! Grew up in a small town right on the beach on the east coast and remember the whole family going down to dig for clams!
