Razor clam diggers can look forward to more than a month of razor clam digging opportunities at Long Beach on the Washington coast.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) approved the dig, which runs from Feb. 4 through March 10, at Long Beach after marine toxin tests showed the clams are safe to eat.

All other beaches remain closed to recreational razor clam digging.

The first week of the upcoming dig at Long Beach is scheduled on the following dates and low tides:

Feb. 4, Thursday, 3:41 p.m .; 0.8 feet, Long Beach;

Feb. 5, Friday, 4:28 p.m .; 0.2 feet, Long Beach;
