“We’ve had some confusion with people thinking that all these beaches are open for every dig, but that isn’t the case,” Ayres said. “If you plan to visit Copalis or Mocrocks, be sure your intended destination is open on the day you want to dig.”
See the list below for information on which beaches are open each day.
“Overall, it’s been a very successful season so far, and we hope it continues throughout 2021,” Ayres said. “These digs help bring millions of dollars into coastal communities, and offer people a fun, healthy way to get outdoors with a low barrier to entry.”
Following local safety guidelines can help keep it fun and healthy as COVID remains a concern across Washington, and managers continue to urge diggers to be respectful of local residents and communities.
