Clam Shovels

Traditional clam shovels are fast and effective once you learn the technique, especially for diggers who enjoy a more hands-on approach.

Blade Shape

A narrow, strong blade helps cut quickly beside the clam without moving too much sand.

Dig Beside the Show

The goal is to follow the clam rather than drive the shovel directly through it. Controlled cuts reduce broken shells.

Practice Technique

Shovel digging has a learning curve, but experienced diggers can be extremely fast with minimal equipment.
