Razor clamming Weekend Trip
Details
Description
Imagine a crisp morning at Copalis Beach, where the salty breeze carries the promise of adventure. As the tide recedes, you and your companions eagerly scan the wet sand for the telltale dimples that signal the presence of razor clams. The thrill of the hunt is palpable as you dig swiftly, unearthing these prized treasures of the Pacific Northwest.
With buckets brimming with fresh clams, you head to your cozy Airbnb in Ocean Shores. The rustic charm of the beach house welcomes you, its kitchen ready for the culinary magic about to unfold. As the sun sets, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, you gather around the kitchen island, preparing the clams with garlic, butter, and a splash of white wine.
The sizzle of clams hitting the hot pan fills the air with an irresistible aroma. Laughter and stories flow as you savor the fruits of your labor, each bite a testament to the day’s adventure. The warmth of the meal and the camaraderie make for an unforgettable evening, a perfect blend of nature’s bounty and the comforts of home. 🌊🦪🏡
