Razor Clam Digging

Have you tried Clam digging? During these winter months, Razor Clam Digging is a favorite of the locals. There are certain days, times and tide which you can try your hand at clam digging, but make sure you check out WDFW for all rules and regulations. Razor Clam digging at Grays Harbor Beaches during the winter months is done at night. You will be able to see hundreds of lights on the beach as the clam diggers use either a flashlights or lanterns to see the holes and watch the surf. What a sight.
