Are we allowed to dig for clams in Victoria provincial park? What exactly is Victoria by the sea, is it a region?

Hello Beth,

The best places for clam digging on PEI are generally on the south side of the Island at low tide. Some places better known for clam digging are Maximeville, Pinette, Tea Hill and yes Victoria.

There is a limit to what you can take, no more than 100 clams and the size can't be smaller than 2 inches. Feel free to visit the Department of Fisheries and Oceans  website for the 'what do I need to know before I harvest shellfish' page to familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations.

I am not sure where you are referring to when you say Victoria provincial park? Unless you mean Argyle Shore Provincial Park which is about 12 km east of Victoria by the Sea. You can also dig for clams at Argyle Shore. 

Victoria by the Sea is a historic fishing village/seaport that’s been revitalized by the many artists and creative people who call it home. It is a rural municipality in the region of Red Sands Shore. A beautiful place to visit! Lots of little shops, restaurants, a theatre and the views are amazing! 

I hope this helps,

Valerie
