🦪 Razor clam season is almost here, and Long Beach is looking GOOD!

WDFW has announced 40 tentative digging days from October 9 through December 27, and Long Beach is included throughout the fall schedule. Even better, WDFW reports that Long Beach razor clam populations remain strong this season.

Make a trip out of it! Head to the beach for the dig, then warm up and settle in at Best Western Long Beach Inn. We’re close to the beach and right in Long Beach, with a complimentary hot breakfast waiting for you the next morning.

🌊 Dig. Stay. Explore Long Beach. Repeat.

Book your clam-digging getaway:

Dig dates are tentative and subject to final WDFW approval and marine toxin testing, so be sure to check current WDFW updates before heading to the beach.

On this September 11th, we join communities across the country in remembering the nearly 3,000 lives lost 25 years ago.

We honor their memory, the courage of our first responders, and the countless acts of bravery, compassion, and unity that followed.

May we always remember those we lost and the strength we found in one another.

Never forgotten.
