One of the most memorable experiences on the Eastern Shore happens when the tide goes out.

At Clam Harbour, you can pull on a pair of boots, head out onto the clam flats with a local clam digger, and learn a tradition that's been part of the Eastern Shore for generations.

Known as E’se’katik by the Mi'kmaq, meaning "at the place of clams," this harbour has been a place to harvest clams since time immemorial.

After digging your own soft-shell clams, you'll head back to Memory Lane Heritage Village for a hearty clam meal before exploring the historic village at your own pace.

Clam digging experiences run until the end of September.
