Several locations in Willapa Bay offer excellent opportunities for shellfishing. The Willapa Bay Field Station is a WDFW facility located east of Nahcotta. This location has 40 acres of tidelands and is popular for shellfish harvesting. Boats can launch from the site, and crabbing is allowed off the docks. This site is also free of charge and has parking. However, oyster harvesting is not permitted at the Willapa Bay Field Station.
