and posted areas along
the sandy beach coastline.
Snowy plover nests are
nearly invisible, and it is vital
to give birds the space to
live and thrive during the
nesting period, especially
along the southern end of
Twin Harbors, known as
Midway Beach, and north
of Second Avenue in Ocean
City to the north end of
Copalis Beach and the
north end of Long Beach.
Avoid leaving leftover food
or trash on the beach and
picnic areas, keep pets on
a leash, stay out of dunes,
and avoid areas marked
with posted signs.
When driving on the beach,
please respect the 25mph speed limit and enter
only at designated access
points. Stay on the hardpacked sand near the high
tide line to avoid crushing
clam beds, buried female
Dungeness crab, and
snowy plover nests.
The 2025-26 Razor Clam
Management Plan will
be available soon on the
WDFW’s website. WDFW
welcomes public input
on proposed razor clam
schedules and considers
this feedback when
finalizing each season’s
digs. Public comments
may be emailed to
razorclams@dfw.wa.gov.

It’s beginning to feel
a lot like autumn as
temperatures drop, the sun
fades away much sooner,
leaves are falling, and trout
have become active in
many statewide lakes.
While the bulk of trout
plants occurred back in
spring, many of those
fish are still waiting to be
caught, and some have
grown larger in size, plus
WDFW hatcheries continue
