Join us to explore and harvest our local clams at the lower campground of Fort Flagler next to the Beachcomber Café. We will identify local shellfish, discuss the common harvest tools and how to use them, how to read a tide table book and why! Learn how to care for your catch after harvest and a few suggested ways to prepare them.
