Guide
Good to know
Come for clamming and crabbing
The estuary is known for Dungeness crabs and clams accessible at low tide.
Visit at low tide
Extensive sand flats expose opportunities for clamming, crabbing, and dog walking that disappear at high tide.
Arrive early on weekends
Parking is extremely limited with only about five spaces, filling quickly during busy periods.
No restrooms available
One visitor had to leave early due to lack of facilities, so plan accordingly.
Watch footing on muddy ground
The terrain becomes slippery and muddy, especially in rainy weather or when wet.
