Northwestern Fjord / Kenai Fjords National ParkThe best kept secret on the Alaska coast! Northwestern Fjord is a great place to spend time beach combing, hiking and paddling. Hundreds of harbor seals inhabit the icy fjord. Best spots include: Otter Cove, Ribbonfall Cove, Northwestern, Anchor and Ogive Glaciers. |

Nuka Island / Kachemak Bay State ParkThis is remote seacoast. Nuka Island, Nuka Bay and Nuka Passage are some of the more desirable places to explore. Scores of reliable haul out beaches afford excellent access. The Nuka region is legendary for its abundants of eagles, seals, and gold mines. |
