Old tennis shoes or aqua socks to wear on the beach.  Our beaches are full of oysters, the shells are razor sharp and can easily cut, so be careful.

 

We also suggest you don't take dogs to the oyster filled beaches because it cuts their pads. 

 

Bring a bucket and a rake to get clams.  Most beaches you can just rake down to the clams. Since the clams are close to the surface.  Be sure to fill in your holes. 

 

Bring an oyster shucking knife and a pair of gloves.  Oysters are very sharp so you want to wear gloves when you open them with a knife.  An oyster knife is much different than a regular knife so if you love to eat oysters be sure to bring one along.  

 

Bring beach towels or old towels.  The towels in the houses are for bathing not beach. 

 

Don't forget your shellfish license.  Everyone has to have one even if you are on private property.
