Manila Clams are an item that helps craft fish bait inย Animal Crossing: New Horizons. They are a common item found along your beaches and are available year-round, unlikeย holiday items. It’s easy to dig up other beach items if you aren’t paying attention, as Manila Clams have a special indicator. If you don’t see that indicator, you aren’t digging up the right object. Here’s how you get Manila Clams inย Animal Crossing: New Horizonsย without wasting too much time.
Where To Find Manila Clam Locations
Manila Clams are found 24/7 regardless of your hemisphere or location, just likeย fossils. Unlike fossils, there is a near-infinite supply of Manila Clams on the beaches. If you ever “run out” or can’t find anymore, go into a building and come back outside. You must be along the shore to encounter them since they lie buried in the sand; they aren’t in the water or along a river.
Look for a small black dot on the beach that spews water. The water indicates that a Manila Clam is buried there. If there is no water, wait a few seconds to double-check, as it could be another object. Dig with your shovel, and you should come up with a Manila Clam. You need one clam to craft one bag of fish bait, which is a good way to save Bells early on.
There’s no threat of running out of clams or missing a special time for their appearance. Frequently exploring your beaches and digging in the sand will earn you a few clams. They do not move around and are easy to bring up, unlike creatures found on the sea floor.
Here’s a quick recap about finding Manila Clams:
- Manila Clams are found year-round on your beaches regardless of hemisphere or time.
- When exploring your beaches, look for a small black dot that spews water. Dig there to uncover a Manila Clam.
