HARVEST PROFILE: This beach does not require a very low tide to access good clamming habitat. A plus 2 to 3 foot tide will expose enough of the beach. Good numbers of native littleneck clams are available wherever sand and gravel substrate occur. Manila littleneck clams can be found over most of the beach in the mid-high intertidal zone. There have been regular plants of Manila clams on this beach and the Manila enhanced area is marked with yellow fiberglass posts at the north end of the beach. There is also some excellent digging for Manilas and native littlenecks to the south of this area in the narrow band of sand/gravel that occurs fairly high on the beach. Butter clams are found over much of the beach in the mid-lower intertidal zone, especially in cobble substrate. Horse clams are present in sand and mud throughout the lower intertidal zone. This is also a good beach for cockles, which can be found on, or just under, the surface of the sand and mud throughout the extensive "mud flat" portions of the beach. Geoducks have been planted on this beach just north of the parking lot. The planted geoduck bed will be exposed on a minus two foot or lower tide. The geoduck enhanced area is marked with yellow fiberglass posts.

This beach relies on natural oyster production and oysters are not as abundant here as they are at Wolfe Property State Park, located immediately to the north and adjacent to Shine Tidelands State Park. However, some oysters can be found in the small embayment near the north boundary of Shine Tidelands State Park.
