Nanaimo Area Guys, I'm Looking For Some Bivalve Help Please.

[Rain City]

Hey all,

I'm taking the family to the Beach Club for the weekend. We have a kitchen and the wife is itching to do some clam digging to try and make up for our missed season. If anyone could please DM me and let me know if this is pipe-dream or if there is a reasonable chance of success in the area, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jon

North of Nanaimo, across from the rest stop is the popular place for clam diggers. Every low tide it is inundated with people. I'm not sure why there are still clams there. I'm assuming they are clams, maybe mussels?

I have not gone to that area for several years, but you can dig for clams a couple of kilometers before entering Nanoose Bay coming from Nanaimo. Just park at the right side of the highway, just across the "rest area" and cross the railroad tracks. Make sure the area is not closed for sewage or red tide contamination. If it is, you should see the signs before reaching the beach.

Thanks. Tides didn't look too be in our favor anyway, so we scrapped it the idea. More hot tub time I guess
