Clam Beach County Park
Park
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Today was a high tide at 9:30AM combined with a Tsunami due to a volcano in the South Pacific. Not a major issue, but high tides and strong waves were the result. Lots of fresh driftwood has been dumped on the beach as well.

Speedy Taco Truck #2
Restaurant
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ I personally think this is the best Taco Truck. The guys are so helpful and friendly. The food tastes so damn good. They have a new canopy this year so there is shade from the McKinleyville summers.

Clam Beach County Park
Park
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ $25 a night per car ($22 for veterans). Several camp sites with fire rings, picnic tables, and large flat spots for tents. Potable water on site as well. We had 2x4man tents with plenty of room. There is also a bathroom but no showers. It's a short walk to the beach and lots of wood available.
