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.
A 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. We invite you
to visit our community anytime of year and
experience the real Alaska!
