The next series of coastal razor clam digs were approved from April 1-7 at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, and Mocrocks beaches. Copalis and Mocrocks are not open every day during each series of digs, so be sure to check which beach is open before heading out. Digging is allowed during morning (midnight to noon only) low tides.
Additional digs are tentatively planned on April 17-23 and April 30-May 6, pending marine toxin results. Final approval usually occurs about a week or less — sometimes two to three days — before the start of each digging series.
Recent marine biotoxin closures on coastal beaches do not apply to razor clams or crabs. Certain shellfish species accumulate toxins more quickly, to higher levels, and can harbor them longer than other species. Refer to Department of Health's shellfish safety map for details on which species are safe to harvest.
