Where can I go clam digging?

Answer by:

Hello Jessica,

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 Pinette, Tea Hill, Victoria-by-the-Sea and Maximeville. There is a limit to what you can take; no more than 100 clams and the size can't be smaller than two inches. Please visit our Digging for Clams the Fisheries page to familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations.

You'll need a bucket, shovel and maybe water shoes to keep your feet protected.
