Clam digging in Netarts Bay is renowned for productivity and rates just behind Coos Bay in popularity. The popular bay produces all species of bay clams. The population of clams in the bay remains consistent because the salinity of the water remains constant because unlike Oregon's other bays, Netarts Bay has no large rivers flowing into it. The consistent salinity is responsible for the high quality of the oysters grown there. The area of the bay posted as a shellfish reserve is closed to clam digging. Purple varnish clams are dug across the bay from the boat ramp. Razor clams are dug on the tidal flat exposed at the entrance of Netarts Bay during low tide.
