That's the beach that my family and Cousins use to clam dig back in the late sixties and early seventies.

South Beach approach at the lower deadline looks like a 'no fall' zone. It's the second left after passing the mouth of the Queets.

There was a "overflow" RV area, South of the Kalaloch Camp ground. We had better view of the ocean there, than many of the camp spots in the big Kalaloch Campground.
I remember the that beach as being OK for digging.

Hi all,
Never done the clam thing. I thought it'd be a fun thing to try with my two boys - ages almost 5 and 2 and a half.
Anyone clam with kids this young? My wife would be along so we'd have a 1:1 adult to kid ratio for keeping a close eye (i.e. kid running towards surf).
Next questions. Looks like the weekend digs are in the evening.
If a low tide is at 6 pm, when do you usually start? Do you use headlamps? Lanterns?
Thanks! John

Cool, thanks FP. We might shoot for a late February dig. If I understand you right, then, we could probably be digging from 4 pm on to the 6 pm low?
I'd rather avoid dealing with the dark.
What do I need? One of those clam guns made with PVC pipe?

If you have never done it, you better be darn careful with young kids, surf, and darkness. Surge can come way up suddenly even where it hasnt been for a while, a 2 year old kid isnt a good idea IMO. We have all seen grown ups dropped and dragged.
