Perched on the edge of Kachemak Bay, this weathered fishing town sits where the Kenai Peninsula meets the Gulf of Alaska, making for incredible opportunities to spot wildlife. Enjoy time to wander the bustling docks, where charter boats head out in search of giant halibut while bald eagles soar overhead and harbor seals bark from the floating docks. Explore the art galleries where local artists capture the northern lights and the region’s dramatic scenery in everything from carvings to oil paintings. Then perhaps join them in local saloons, where the walls are covered in dollar bills and the kitchens serve feasts of king crab legs, rockfish, and halibut chowder. The midnight sun lights the way for your yacht to sail out through Cook Inlet after a fulfilling day of discovery in this town infused with frontier spirit.
