Clam City
Shallow Palau clam sanctuary with coral garden and easy boat access.
Local operator required
The site is usually visited as part of a guided Rock Islands boat trip from Koror.
One of the easier Rock Islands dives from Koror; best for slow reef observation, giant clams and beginner-friendly water rather than current or depth.
About Clam City
Clam City is a shallow Palau coral garden known for its giant clam sanctuary, where large Tridacna clams sit among staghorn and Porites formations in easy clear water. The dive usually unfolds as a relaxed tour around the clam beds and surrounding coral patches rather than as a current-driven route, which is why it also works well for snorkellers and newer divers. Planning is simple: it is a short boat trip from Koror and one of the gentler Rock Islands stops, so the main goal is slow observation and careful finning around the clams rather than chasing depth or drift.

Safety Notes
This is an easy site in layout, but the giant clams and fragile coral make buoyancy and fin control especially important. Treat it as a slow observation dive and avoid standing or bracing anywhere near the clam beds.
Access Restrictions
Clam City is normally visited by boat from Koror or the Rock Islands day-boat circuit rather than by any form of shore entry.
