A six-day razor clam digging period along select Washington beaches has been set to begin Nov. 18, with tentative December dates, according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). <\/p>\n

Enthusiasts can head to Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, and Mocrocks beaches for the opportunity, which runs through Nov. 23, WDFW said. <\/p>\n

For those planning to participate, WDFW advises that the best digging typically occurs between one and two hours before the listed low tide times. <\/p>\n

Each digger is allowed a daily limit of 15 clams, which must be kept in a separate container, according to state regulations. <\/p>\n

A valid 2025-26 license is necessary for participation. WDFW recommends diggers buy their license<\/a> before visiting coastal beach communities.<\/p>\n

WDFW also cautions that fall conditions can make beach driving hazardous due to soft sand buildup. Diggers are urged to drive carefully on the uppermost part of the hard-packed sand near the high tide line to avoid damaging clam beds and buried female Dungeness crabs.<\/p>\n

Kalaloch Beach, located off the northern Olympic Peninsula coast, will not be open for digging, as the clam population there remains small and low in numbers. <\/p>\n

According to WDFW, the following six digs will proceed as scheduled:<\/p>\n

Nov. 18, 5:18 p.m.; 0.0 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, CopalisNov. 19, 5:52 p.m.; -0.3 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, MocrocksNov. 20, 6:25 p.m.; -0.4 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, MocrocksNov. 21, 6:59 p.m.; -0.4 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, CopalisNov. 22, 7:34 p.m.; -0.3 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, CopalisNov. 23, 8:12 p.m.; -0.1 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, MocrocksComment with Bubbles<\/p>\n
