| 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 located 126 miles
south of Anchorage. 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.

trophy sport fishing, 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.

wide range of accommodations, restaurants, RV parks, tent camping, and
visitor services are available.
Wherever you go in Seward, you’ll find
friendly hospitality and a sense of pride among our residents.
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!
