Can’t figure out how to post pole, so which is best:

a). Kalaloch (Kalaloch area beaches, Olympic NP)
b). Mocrocks (Copalis River to Moclips)
c). Copalis (Ocean Shores to Copalis River)
d). Twin Harbors (Westport through Grayland)
e). Long Beach Peninsula

    I’ve done Copalis a few times and had no problem limiting out and had plenty of time to drink beer by a fire afterwards

    I've done Kalaloch the most. Four barely coherent drunks never had a hard time staggering out on the beach for a late night low tide and getting limits.

    We entertained ourselves waiting for low tide by shooting at raccoons invading our camp with wrist rockets. I love Kalaloch.

    I’ve clammed 3 of the 5, so here’s how I rank them:

    1). Copalis. Easy limit every time. Green Lantern Tavern, plus Ocean Shores, and Hoquiam/Aberdeen breweries on way home.

    2). Mocrocks. Easy to moderate limit every time. Like above, Green Lantern Tavern, plus Ocean Shores, and Hoquiam/Aberdeen breweries on way home. Also Seabrook.

    3). Twin Harbors. The only one so far where I’ve had less than limit digs. Westport is great, so still a fun beach.

    All three with Ranch House BBQ on way back if you are taking SR-8 to/through Olympia.

    I’ll have to hit Long Beach one of these days for a dig. Kalaloch is rarely open, so not sure if or when I’ll do that, especially because I get fast/easy limits at Copalis.

    Sometimes you show up and dig your limit in a few minutes, and sometimes you have to beat the sand a bit to get shows, but usually if you stick it out and aren't blind, you can get your limit at any of the listed beaches. The last time I went out, we had limits pretty easy an hour and a half before low tide, but had to walk around a while looking. The time before that, I had to take about 12 steps to get a limit once we got to the digging zone and was tubing 3 or 4 clams in one arm's reach. Same beach a few weeks apart. Usually, if the surf and weather are calm, you're not going to have any problem finding clams. I like the zone right in front of the Quinault casino. Fat clams there.

    I dig the Road House, too. I usually go with the half chicken with beans, slaw and a cornbread muffin. It's great when you're coming back from fishing and get a great meal in hand in a matter of minutes.

    Love eating those legendary farmed mussels from there!

    I’m looking for good public hard shell clamming areas in Western Washington. Is there one there?

    I’m just adding some malarkey to the thread.

    The only clam I’ve ever caught was like some 100 year old geoduck in Hood Canal.

    I do love the farmed mussels.

    A buddy of mine lives in Qulicene. I'd like to clown him about it, but damn - it's a nice place.

    There's a little sandwich place right as you come into town from the south named Gear Heads - killer sandwiches. We stop there on our way home from crabbing when we're up at Ft. Flagler getting dungies.
