About this beach

Long Beach is one of Washington's major razor clam digging beaches, stretching along the Pacific coast from the Columbia River north to the mouth of Willapa Bay. Its broad, sandy shoreline provides miles of razor clam habitat and is one of the state's most popular destinations during approved digging seasons.

Before every trip, check the current razor clam schedule and confirm that Long Beach is open for harvesting. Tentative dig dates are subject to final approval based on marine toxin testing and other conditions.

Long Beach is one of Washington's major razor clam digging beaches, stretching along the Pacific coast from the Columbia River north to the mouth of Willapa Bay.

Parking

Parking is generally permitted on the beach where vehicle access is available. Avoid blocking beach approaches and use caution when driving or parking on soft sand.

During razor clam digs, approaches can become busy. Arriving early gives you more time to park, prepare your gear, and walk to productive digging areas before low tide.

Facilities

Restroom facilities are available at maintained Long Beach access sites. Services vary by location, so bring everything you need for the dig, including drinking water, warm clothing, lights for evening digs, clam containers, and your digging equipment.

Razor clam digging notes

Long Beach is a productive Washington razor clam beach, but digging is allowed only during approved openings. Check the latest schedule before traveling and remember that tentative dates are not final until officially confirmed.

Look for clam shows as the tide recedes and plan to be on the beach before the listed low tide. Each digger should have the required license, digging equipment, and a separate container for their clams.

Pay attention to surf, weather, beach-driving conditions, and any posted restricted areas. Never assume that a previous opening means the beach is currently open.
