If your idea of a perfect summer day is spent near the beach, taking in the crisp salty air, enjoying a refreshing beverage, and slurping fresh, briny oysters, then you’re in luck. Travel editor Krista Simmons recently [compiled a list]( of the best places to shuck (there’s no better time to learn!) and eat oysters in the West. There’s the [Carlsbad Aquafarm]( where you can go on a tour and enjoy an oyster tasting. Or stop by [Hog Island Oyster Company]( on Tomales Bay to learn how oysters are grown and farmed (chef’s tasting included). You can also head up to Washington, where you can feast on seafood and enjoy views of Puget Sound at [Taylor’s Samish Oyster Bar and Shellfish Market](. And those are just some of the noteworthy destinations to put on your list. See all the spots [here]( and get ready to indulge. —Sarah Yang, digital director STORY OF THE WEEK These Are the Most Beautiful Places to Shuck and Eat Oysters in the West Travel to these stunning seaside locales to enjoy your fill of the world's most beloved bivalve [Read It]( [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [LinkedIn]( [Pinterest]( TRAVEL [I'm an image]( From Off-Leash Beaches to 25-Acre Dog Parks, These Are the Best Dog-Friendly Campsites in the West Bring your four legged friend along to these epic campsites.
