Sea Lion Cove Trail

Dogs Unknown

Be sure to haul your skiff or kayak above the high tide mark and tie it to something strong. The boardwalk trail is extremely slippery when wet – hiking poles are suggested. This is a remote trail with no cell phone coverage. Be sure to bring along your camera and a VHF radio; as well as the ten essentials on any hike in Alaska's backcountry. There can be a lot of beach trash. Please pack out a little with you.

The trail starts in the forest and crosses into muskegs. Pass by the first lake before re-entering beautiful old-growth forest. The trail then emerges onto a two-mile long sand beach in Sea Lion Cove, at the edge of the Pacific Ocean.
