About this park
Clam Gulch State Recreation Area on the Kenai Peninsula sits atop a bluff above Cook Inlet, with sweeping views across the water to the Alaska Range and the volcanoes beyond. The high perch makes it one of the most scenic campgrounds on the peninsula. The area is famous for razor clam digging, a beloved Alaska tradition, and low tides draw diggers to the beach below. Campers enjoy sunset views over the inlet, and paths lead down to the shore. Wildlife and shorebirds add to the setting. Parking is $5 per day, camping runs $20 to $25 per site, and boat launch fees range from $10 to $25. Check current clamming regulations and license requirements before you dig.
