October 6, 2026: Razor clam digs on Washington coastal beaches have been postponed until further notice due to a spike in marine toxins. The tentative dig dates listed below are currently on hold. Please check back for updates as new information becomes available.
It’s time for clam chowder, fried clams, and clam fritters!
Digging for razor clams is one of the most popular outdoor activities: it’s family-friendly, it’s easy, and it’s right here
in Seabrook’s backyard.
A successful day of clam digging starts with the right gear. Conditions can be wet and muddy, so rubber boots, hip or chest
waders, and a raincoat are recommended. Clams are traditionally dug with a clam shovel, though a clam gun is another popular option.
Basecamp, located on Front and Market Street, makes it easy to prepare, offering clam-digging licenses and a full range of gear,
including clam guns, wet gear, shovels, and bags. Access to a rentable clam-cleaning station is also available.
Licenses can also be purchased on the WDFW’s website. The daily limit is 15
clams per licensed person.
