Clam Beach

This beach is located north of Arcata, in Humboldt County. Clam Beach’s most significant risk is the high number of potential bacteria sources. These sources include sewage treatment systems, domestic animals, and wildlife in the area.

Clam Beach isn’t just known for its high contamination levels; it’s also known for bad parking and lots of loiterers. Visitors also complain that there are no restrooms available. If you’re looking for a place for sightseeing or camp-outs, you may want to visit an alternative location, for reasons outside of just the pollution concern.
