Beachfront Stay & Clam Digging

Dig into adventure on a 2-night beachfront escape, clam-digging by day, and the freshest seafood feast by night.

Join a local naturalist and clam digger for a half-day adventure, where you’ll learn how to find, dig, clean, and cook clams. Along the way, enjoy local stories and helpful tips. Stay just steps from white sand beaches and turquoise waters, with comfy beds and private porches, perfect for watching sunrises and listening to the waves.
