Plymouth Long Beach - Main Public Beach
If you are a Plymouth resident and want to learn how to find, shuck and eat surf clams, those giant edible bivalves, now’s your chance! We’ll meet in the Long Beach main parking lot at the northernmost end on August 2 at 6:30 a.m. where you will get a ride out to a spot near the Crossover. After a quick introduction to surf clam ecology and conservation, we will grab pitchforks and buckets and head onto the sand flats. We’ll teach you how to find and dig the clams, and how to shuck them. Depending on our luck, you will go home with a plenty of shucked clams and several recipes to try.
To participate, you must have a Plymouth resident’s shell-fishing license, available at Town Hall for $10 (free for seniors). No exceptions, unless you watch only! Bring a flat-tined pitchfork and large bucket, if you have them. We will have some to share. Space is limited, so sign up soon! The fee for this program is $10 for the general public and $5 for Beach Ambassadors. Scroll down to sign up.
