Most successful digging occurs between one and two hours before the listed time of low tide.

On all open beaches — Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, and Mocrocks — the daily limit is 15 clams per person. Each digger must have their clams in a separate container and must keep the first 15 clams they dig, regardless of size or condition, to prevent waste.

Diggers must have a valid 2025-26 license. You can buy your license from WDFW’s licensing website or from a license dealer near you. All diggers age 16 or older must have a license to harvest razor clams on any beach.

Kalaloch Beach off the northern Olympic Peninsula coast won’t be open, as clams there remain small and low in numbers.
