Beautiful Beach at Pacific City
“Harvesting clams is so easy, the only easier way to get clams is to go to the grochery store!”
Beach access is obtained from Brooten Rd., approximately 1 mile south of Pacific City. You’ll find softshells near the west shore of the bar entrance and the sand dune at Pacific Avenue. There is also a population of Purple Varnish Clams on the west shore near the bar entrance, I’m told there are gapers as well. A shovel and clam-gun will work well, and in a few areas a rake may be needed.The
best place for crabbing
is past the bar to 1/4 mile inlet, and requires a boat. However, there is also dock, and shore crabbing.Get Directions
