Seldovia Points of Interest

All of the freight, mate­ri­als, equip­ment and vehi­cles come in to Sel­dovia ​“over” the City Dock. This is a deep water dock and the Alas­ka Marine High­way Fer­ries Tus­tu­me­na and Ken­ni­cott tie up here on a week­ly basis and pro­vide a link, a high­way if you will, to the rest of Alas­ka.

Dis­cov­er the hid­den gem of Out­side Beach in Sel­dovia, a mile out­side town with breath­tak­ing views of Kachemak Bay, Cook Inlet, and the Pacif­ic Ring of Fire. Enjoy sum­mer activ­i­ties like pic­nics, bon­fires, fish­ing, and more. RV and tent camp­ing avail­able. Don’t miss the stun­ning mid­night sunsets!
