About

Clam Beach is praised for its vast open space and long walking stretches, making it a favorite for those seeking solitude. While some visitors enjoy the camping facilities, others feel the park has declined in maintenance and enforcement. The wind can be intense, and the lack of showers is a common point of feedback. It remains a solid spot for a bonfire or a long stroll.
