Safety Cove State Marine Park
There are a number of state marine parks near Seward, and Safety Cove is one of ‘em. Reaching the park requires a 28-mile boat ride from town, but it’s hard to turn down 960 acres of pristine marine environment. It's one of the many "can't miss" parts of Alaska—there’s a three acre freshwater lake right above a gravel storm berm, and if you’ve been hankerin’ for some beach camping, this is your spot. Recreation boats can even safely anchor here, and once you're docked, try to peel yourself away from the enigmatic shoreline and venture around upland. The reward? Fantastic views of Ellsworth Glacier.
