Cape Cod is one of the best places in the world for shellfishing, and Wequassett is excited to offer our guests a hands-on opportunity to learn how local clams are cultivated and harvested.

Captain John, an older man in a blue jacket and white cap, stands outdoors near water, smiling and holding a clam during one of his clamming tours with a foggy background.

Overview

The one-hour sessions are led by Captain John on our private beach and guests will be able to gather the local delicacy themselves. Times of the sessions are determined by the tides, and equipment is provided. Guests are invited to borrow jackets and Wellington Boots from our Barbour borrowing closet located at the Front Desk, so no packing is necessary. A great outside activity for families and couples alike!

Please meet at the Recreation Desk.

A person practices clamming, examining a clam with a metal gauge above a yellow mesh bag filled with clams, standing on a rocky shoreline—perhaps inspired by Captain John’s legendary techniques.
