FAQ
Food & Drinks
Can I eat the oysters raw right off the beach?

If you are a big fan of raw oysters, we recommend that you book for an experience in April – May. The WA Department of Health advises that all shellfish recreationally harvested during the months of May-September, should be cooked thoroughly to avoid illness due to Vibriosis. Please read the Vibriosis Fact Sheet for more information.

Do I really need rubber boots?
Rubber boots will keep your feet dry and happy. And the taller the boots, the further out you will be able to go to grab the absolute freshest shellfish. Don’t have any? No sweat! We have them available for rent for $10/pair. Just select your size during checkout!
Will shin-height rubber boots be ok?
They will certainly work just fine! But just remember, the taller the boots, the further out you’ll be able to go to grab the freshest shellfish.
Location
These events are hosted on Hood Canal in Washington, usually in Brinnon, Belfair, or Lilliiwaup. The venue is dictated by the tide schedule and when and where the Department of Fish and Wildlife allow shellfish harvesting. If you’d like to enjoy a great meal, hands-on shellfish gathering, and bring home your own bounty of shellfish, Save $9.00 by bundling this with the Tide to Table Feast!

Guest Testimonials

Clam digging kept the teens entertained for hours!

– Landon B.

Our teens couldn’t get over how fun it was to dig for clams. They loved learning the secret ‘tells’ for finding them and then picking the biggest ones to bring home. And with the pro tips we learned (and safety gear!), they even shucked oysters without hurting themselves! What a great way to get them excited to be outside in nature, while indulging in a constant treasure hunt.

Perfect for oyster fanatics

– Mary B.

My husband is a raw oyster fanatic! This has been a bucket list experience for our family for forever. It was unbelievable to see the thousands of oysters on the beach as far as the eye could see.
