HARVEST PROFILE:
This is a very good beach for
butter clams and native
littleneck clams. The best harvest area is south from the boat ramp to
the dock and decent pockets of native littlenecks can be found north of the
boat ramp in areas of mixed sand and gravel. Butter clams can be found in the
lower intertidal zone in both areas.
There are
oysters available at Sequim Bay State Park.
They can be found in good numbers in the WDFW oyster enhancement plot north of the boat ramp
(click here for photo of oyster plots).

To reach the site from the east on Highway 101 from the Hood Canal Bridge,
travel west on Highway 104 until Highway 104 merges with Highway 101, about one mile

FUN FACTS:
North of Sequim Bay State Park is the former site of the Jamestown S'Klallam
village of Suxtcikwi'in, from which "Sequim", meaning "quiet waters"
gets its name. Two natural overlapping sandbars protect the bay waters from the
rough waves and currents of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. These same sandbars also
protected the area from discovery by the first three expeditions that ventured
into the Puget Sound.
