News Flash: Twin Harbors and Long Beach have been added to the previously announced seven days of razor clam digging beginning on October 26.  Test results came back that showed domoic acid levels were low enough to approve the dig on those two beaches and add them to the upcoming seven day dig.

Remember: This will be the first night dig of the season. Please be careful driving on the beach and be aware of the clam beds. Pay close attention to other clammers and pedestrians, and always keep your eye on the ocean.

Make sure you have a valid clamming license for the 2019-2020 season.

The official press release announcing the approved digs by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is on the agency’s website. And don’t forget, the approved dig was only made available to the public because of the hard work that state shellfish managers put in, plus the watchful eye of the Department of Health that conducts the marine toxin tests to ensure clams are safe to eat.

Be sure to check the Beach Map to ensure you are on the correct approved beach.
