1 hour
Beluga Point
Mile 110, Seward Hwy, Mile 110 Seward Hwy, Anchorage, 99516, Alaska
This dramatic stretch of coastline offers panoramic views of Turnagain Arm, with the Chugach Mountains towering behind and tides that can rise and fall as much as 30 feet—among the highest in the world. The landscape shifts constantly with light and water, creating an unforgettable backdrop for photos and reflection.
In the summer months, this spot earns its name: Beluga whales can often be seen surfacing close to shore, following schools of salmon as the tide comes in. With a bit of luck and patience, you may spot their white backs gliding through the silvery water.
It’s also a great place to look for Dall sheep high on the cliffs above, or simply pause to take in the raw, expansive beauty that makes Alaska feel so alive.
30 minutes
Potter Marsh Bird Sanctuary
154th Ave, , Anchorage, 99587, Alaska
Potter Marsh is one of Anchorage’s most accessible and rewarding wildlife viewing areas. Stretching along the southern end of the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge, this peaceful wetland is a haven for birds, moose, and serene natural beauty.
A winding wooden boardwalk extends out over the marsh, allowing guests to walk gently above the water and grasses. From here, you might spot trumpeter swans, arctic terns, bald eagles, and dozens of migratory bird species, especially during spring and summer. Look closely into the water below—you may see spawning salmon, darting trout, or even a shy muskrat gliding past.

Lake Hood Harbor
185 Aircraft Drive, , Anchorage, 99502, Alaska
Lake Hood, a shimmering hub of adventure and aviation history. What might look like a peaceful lake is actually the busiest seaplane base on Earth, with up to 500 takeoffs and landings per day during the summer months.
This is where Alaskans take to the skies—not just for fun, but for life. With over 80% of Alaska’s communities unreachable by road, planes are a lifeline. From bush pilots flying supplies to remote villages, to scenic tour operators and backcountry adventurers, Lake Hood is the heartbeat of Alaska’s aviation culture.

Earthquake Park
5101 Point Woronzof Rd, , Anchorage, 99502, Alaska
This quiet, forested area marks the site of one of the most devastating natural disasters in U.S. history: the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake. Measuring 9.2 on the Richter scale, it remains the strongest earthquake ever recorded in North America and the second strongest in the world.
Here, the earth quite literally gave way. A once-thriving Anchorage neighborhood slid into the Cook Inlet when the ground dropped more than 30 feet in seconds. Today, you can still see the contours of the land where it buckled and shifted—a haunting, beautiful landscape shaped by seismic force.
