10 ROBERT STRAUB SCENIC PARK

You can access the wild and rugged part of Cape Kiwanda Beach via this little park at the Nestucca Sand Spit, where the legendary – and Chinook salmon–friendly – Little Nestucca River meets the sea. The beach here is less protected and thus is windier and has stronger surf and currents. You can find shelter from the elements in the grass-covered dunes.

CLAMMING

If you’re around Netarts Bay at a minus tide, you’re likely to see groups of rubber-booted, bucket-wielding foragers combing the beach. Want to get in on the clamming action? First, everyone 14 and older needs a $10 shellfish license, available at sporting goods stores (there are a few in Tillamook) or through the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (dfw.state.or.us) website, where you can also check the regulations, limits and seasonal closures. Cockles, little necks, gaper clams and other species are all present, but razor clams are the real prize. In all cases, show up about an hour before the lowest tide with a bucket, shovel and/or a clam gun, look for small holes in the sand, then dig fast!
