Hi Marjorie,

Thank you for your question to Ask an Islander.

We are thrilled to hear that you plan to visit our island.

Clam digging is a great activity to do while visiting PEI.

It is free of charge to go clam digging on the Island, and you do not need a licence to dig clams. It is however important to keep in mind that shellfish is a commercial fishery; conservation is important. Please respect that the daily catch limit for all species is 100 per person in total.

For tips, tricks and regulations on clam digging, feel free to visit our webpage on clam digging here

I hope you enjoy,

Martin
