About razor clams

Razor clams (Silqua patula) are found throughout Oregon’s ocean beaches. Clatsop beaches (Columbia River to Seaside) have the most stable populations (because of beach stability), 95 percent of Oregon's razor clam digging occurs here. Other area’s such as, Agate Beach, Waldport Beach, Whiskey Run, Myers Creek, and other beaches along the coast also have razor clam populations, but tend to be less available.

Digging razor clams is a challenging and fun recreational pastime with delicious rewards. See our how to dig razor clams for some fundamental skills. Proper digging techniques can improve your success and help prevent wastage.

Check Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) shellfish status page- for closure information.
