Embark on a magical mussel foraging adventure along the Sonoma Coast. Learn how to sustainably harvest, clean, and prepare fresh California mussels while gaining insight into the region’s coastal history, intertidal ecosystem, and responsible stewardship of the land and sea.

After gathering your bounty, enjoy a beachside feast featuring freshly foraged mussels—the perfect setting to ask questions, share discoveries, and savor the ocean views. If you’ve never tasted mussels straight from the sea, you’re in for an unforgettable treat.

Each participant may take home up to 10 pounds of fresh mussels, along with recipes and preparation tips. Mussel season ends in April, so don’t miss this unique coastal experience.
