Clam Shell Lodge: Classic Alaskan
herzog63 Says: We didn't stay here but we just stopped by during the day. Seems like a nice place to stay if your in the area. The views cannot be beat as it sits right up on top of the bluff and the views of Mount Redoubt, Mount Illiamna, Mount Spur are fantastic and who knows you could...

On July 17th there was an Authentic Hawaiian Luau held at the Clam Shell Lodge. We didn't have time to stay for it as we had an 8:00 P.M. baseball game to attend. But I'm sure it was a blast!! Other than that there isn't a whole lot of Nightlife in Clam Gulch. Of course an evening stroll down the beach to enjoy the sunset can't be beat!!

herzog63 Says: I love to observe different fishing techiques wherever I travel. Even though Clam Gulch is only about 100 miles from where I live the style of fishing is different than it is in Kodiak. We don't have these strange looking boat trailers. But for the guys working the beaches...
herzog63 Says: There are a few places that give guided tours or you can rent Kayaks and go by yourself. Beware of the Tides and the weather!! But if you're a Kayaker you know this already. We watched a couple guys come in through the waves and it sure looked like fun.
herzog63 Says: When you get to the beach look at the bluffs and you'll see the cliffs etched with names of visitors to the area. I'm sure the cliff is slippery after a good rain. And of course the cliffs aren't for everyone. But the kids that were with us were 13-14 years old and they love...
Check out the Commercial Salmon fishing
herzog63 Says: Along the beach you can see the different commercial salmon fisherman setting and checking their nets. They catch the fish in the nets and transfer the fish to four-wheel drive pick-up trucks on the beach. It's quite an interesting style of fishing.
Clam Gulch Classic.......a fun Dogsled Race
herzog63 Says: If you happen to be in the area in December you can witness the Clam Gulch Classic. It's a 56 mile dogsled race. They run it in two stages so it's two days of fun! The race starts at Clam Shell Lodge. I have only read about the race but have never attended so I don't have a...
herzog63 Says: Clam Gulch is famous all over Alaska as a great place to dig Razor Clams!! Hence the name Clam Gulch!! hahha We missed the very low tide that is needed to either harvest the clams ourselves or watch the clam diggers in action. The Clams are about 5 " - 6 " long and are a bit...
herzog63 Says: Here you see the dead trees from that invasion of some sort of Spruce Bark Beetle. The warning isn't really for humans ......just the poor trees....well, actually it does create a hazard for humans as whole areas of the forest end up dead and the trees are very dry so one...
herzog63 Says: Walking barefoot on the Clam Beach is hard on your feet at the waters edge. I don't walk barefoot much anymore.....not like I did when I was a kid. So a good pair of beach slippers might come in handy if you want to swim here or walk in the water. I'm such a wimp that I had...
Clam Gulch Parking and Camping
herzog63 Says: After we figured out that we couldn't park at the beach for free with our Rented Mini-vans due to soft sand we went back to the Parking/Camping area and asked if we could have a discount for parking as we were a visiting little league baseball team and would only be at Clam...
herzog63 Says: CIam Gulch State Park is quite small in area so don't think there is much for hiking possibilities here but we managed to find a small trail. The park is bordered on both sides by private land. Most people just come here for Beach activities and the great views over Cook...
Clam Gulch State Recreation Site
herzog63 Says: If you go to Clam Gulch State Recreation Site and want to walk to the beach don't drive all the way down to the beach unless you have a four wheel drive vehicle!!! The sand is very soft!! There is only a very small place to turn around at the bottom of the hill. So you will...

Here is our team taking a break at the beach. For other sports that are done in the area fishing, Clamming, Hiking, Kayaking, Hunting would be the most popular activities.

herzog63 Says: At the State Park in the parking area near the road as you go down to the beach you can see a sign board that has lot's of local information that is quite useful.
herzog63 Says: If you would like to see Bald Eagles just search the bluffs and you can spot them. The only one that was close enough for me to photograph was this young eagle. He was down on the beach feeding on a huge King Salmon Carcass.
herzog63 Says: On Clear days you can see Mount Redoubt which is a 10,197 foot high Volcano. In 1989 and 1990 it sent clouds of Ash into the sky and it disrupted many airline flights in and out of Anchorage. There was some haze on our visit so it wasn't so clear. You will have to enlarge my...
