“South of Aptos along the shore is the San Andreas District. Here is one of the finest beaches in the world. Surf fishing and clamming is a popular winter sport. The clams are of a very large variety and very palatable. They are gathered by raking in the sand in low tide with long-tooth rakes.” —Harry Hooper, 1926
