Kake Beaches Directory

Drive out north of Kake a few miles to find a local hot spot for picnicking and watching for humpbacks in Keku Strait. This is the best place near Kake to view whales. You can see their spouts in the waters pretty close to the Point.

The wide beach flats in front of Kake where Gunnuk Creek and Little Gunnuk Creek empty out offer a wide expanse to explore, especially for kids. Watch for eagles, take in the view of Kuiu Island across Keku Strait, or learn how to dig for clams.

Long Beach is a stretch of beach along Keku Strait a few miles north of Kake. This is a good spot for spotting whale activity offshore, as there are a few rocks out in the water that the whale like to rub against. Generally you would see humpback in this area, but once in awhile you might see a pod of orca.
