HARVEST PROFILE:
Most of this beach is covered with oysters, but there are some pockets of
Manila clams and native littleneck clams.
Butter clams are available in the mid-low tidal zone.
Triton Cove Tidelands used to be a commercial "oyster farm".
It is an excellent oyster beach.
The oysters at Triton Cove Tidelands are known to stay in good condition throughout the summer.

DIRECTIONS TO SITE:
From the south (Olympia, Shelton, Portland) travel north on Highway 101 along Hood Canal. Pass through the town of

first right turn (that is not a gated private driveway) after you pass Triton Cove State Park.
The turnoff is not marked, but look for the short access road and large parking area just above the beach.
From the
north (Port Angeles, Kingston) travel south on Highway 101 through Brinnon and
continue for another seven miles until you cross Fulton Creek.
You'll see the sign for Fulton Creek as you cross the bridge.
Triton Cove Tidelands is about a half mile south of Fulton Creek on the left side of the road.
FACILITIES:
None. There is a pit toilet at Triton Cove State Park, a short distance to the south on Highway 101. There is a
information board in the parking area at Triton Cove Tidelands with maps of the public beach and clam and oyster season information. Check the aerial photos of the beach and surrounding area
