Visit these four must-see places around Kodiak, Alaska.
Fossil Beach in Kodiak, Alaska
The road to Fossil Beach beach is rough but worth it. The beach itself isn’t large, but cliffs tower on each side to create a protected, private cove. Visiting this spot will leave you feeling relatively small in the world, compared to the vast ocean, rocky ledges, and ancient fossils. Be sure to stop here at low tide to enjoy several hours of searching the cliffs for fossilized sea creatures and plants. To drive here, take Pasagshak Road, which is the right fork in the road after passing the US Coast Guard Base. Go through Kodiak, Alaska, until the road ends at the beach.
Fort Abercrombie State Park Alaska Scenery
Fort Abercrombie State Park is a dream come true for any history buff. It’s full of World War II defense ruins, and over the years these man-made items combined with the Alaskan wilderness. They’re overgrown with greenery and camouflage into the park’s incredible Alaska scenery. You’ll see bunkers, wildflowers, cannons, and crashing waves. It’s the kind of place you can only find in Kodiak, Alaska.
