WDFW approves final coastal razor clam digs of the spring season from April 30 through May 6. Avoid disturbing nesting snowy plovers by staying out of the dunes and posted areas. Snowy plover nests are nearly invisible, and it is vital to give birds the space to live and thrive during the nesting period, especially along the southern end of Twin Harbors
