Welcome to Seward, Alaska.
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, 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 trophy sport fishing, glacier and wildlife cruises, sailing, hiking, kayaking, flightseeing, summer dog sled rides, and more.
Seward is also a winter wonderland offering cross-country skiing and snowmachining 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.
Seward is home to some of Alaska's finest sport fishing. Anglers will find excellent fishing almost year-round in Seward. Here, fishermen and women have the chance to feel the arm-burning power of a giant Pacific Halibut, fight an acrobatic Silver (Coho) Salmon on light tackle, catch a trophy Lingcod, or troll for Alaska's renowned King (Chinook) Salmon.
Trail Rides! "Come ride down the river to the shores of Resurrection Bay. This area of Seward is only accessible by horse back. View bald eagles up close, see where they nest and watch them feed. It is rare that you can't ride your horse right under the trees where they majestically perch. We will ride through part of the old town of Seward that was destroyed by the great earthquake of 1964. You will hear the stories of the people who lived through it.
