Oregon has 360 miles of coastline - that’s 360 miles of crabbing and clamming opportunity! Digging for Purple Varnish Bay clams is a simple and affordable activity that can include the whole family. You will be guided by Randy & Kathy at low tide (time varies each day) to the clam beds of Siletz Bay where we will show you how to dig and gather your limit of Purple Varnish Clams. (The limit is 72 per person per day) This normally takes between 1 to 1.5 hours, and is easy to do for all age levels. The walk to the clam bed is easy to access. We will show you where to go and how to recognize where to dig, how deep to dig, and sizes to keep for tasty dishes! Upon completion, we will email you the links to our YouTube Channel where you will find instructions on cleaning, cooking and recipes. For guests at the Vitamin Sea Cottage, you will have the hands on opportunity to be shown how to clean your clams in our outdoor kitchen, preparing them for the freezer for later use when you return home. All tools will be provided on loan, or you can bring your own: shovels & buckets. You will need an Oregon Shellfish License if over 11 years old. Purchase them online: www.ODFW.com or at BiMart in Lincoln City. AirBNB.com/vitaminsea
