Located 126 scenic miles south of Anchorage, Seward is a unique Alaskan town thanks to its small-town charm and hospitality combined with major destination attractions and activities, and exceptional services.
Situated at the head of Resurrection Bay on the Kenai Peninsula, Seward is
one of Alaska’s oldest and most scenic communities. Known as the "Gateway to
Kenai Fjords National Park" Seward is a picturesque town. Visitors can easily reach us via the Seward Highway
Scenic Byway, the Alaska Railroad or by bus, air or cruise ship.
Upon your arrival you will discover our bustling harbor and
historic downtown district filled with quaint shops and art
galleries.
Experience glacier and wildlife cruises, sailing, hiking,
kayaking, flight seeing, summer dog sled rides and more. Seward is also a
winter wonderland offering cross-country skiing and snow machine adventures.
At 3,022 feet, towering Mt. Marathon provides a breathtaking backdrop for
the town. Behind Mt. Marathon and extending down the coast lies the Harding
Icefield, measuring 35 by 20 miles. Flowing from the Harding Icefield are
many glaciers, eight of which are tidewater glaciers, calving icebergs into
the sea, reaching the coastline between Seward and Homer.
Voted All American City in 1963, 1965 and again in 2005, we invite you to
visit us any time of year and experience the real Alaska!
