how many digs usually happen per year? Ive wanted to try this but keep missing each one due to obligations here.

There will probably 1 more spring dig after this one, and then no more until September or October. They usually have 4 0r five digs in the spring and the same in the fall.

Make sure you get there two hours early of the tide. Bring lanterns if it's before sunrise. It's a fun time and they taste great.

Its looking like we may be going.We will be there before the crack of dawn my girlfriends uncle lives in Aberdeen.So getting there early shouldnt be a problem.Thanks for the advice.

Depending on the tide you may be able to start digging earlier than that.
Remember, that ocean is dangerous. Even a little wave or a rip current can pull you off the beach. A lady drowned out here just last weekend.

True! Earlier the better. Usually first dig of the year (evening dig), we're there 3 to 4 hours early. Morning tides suck to get there that early.
