Everything You Need to Know About Razor Clam in Seaside, Oregon

Digging Razor Clams can be challenging, especially if you are using a clam shovel. With the right clam gun, you can be successful in digging your clams with a shovel without crushing or cutting up clams in your bag. At our condo, we have two clam guns for you to borrow if you need to use them for clamming. I will update the rest of the year soon.  

The razor clam season in Oregon opens anytime outside of July 15 to September 30 north of Tillamook Head. 

  • Daily limit of first 15 dugs (no sorting or releasing).
  • Razor clams may be taken by hand, shovel, clam gun, or tube with an opening no less than 4” (cylindrical) or 4” X 3” (elliptical).
  • For your safety, call the Oregon Department of Agriculture Shellfish Safety Hotline before harvesting any shellfish at 1-800-448-2474.
