Boswell Bay Beaches State Marine Park

Boswell Bay Beaches State Marine Park is an undeveloped Alaska marine park on the eastern tip of Hinchinbrook Island, southwest of Cordova, encompassing 3,047 acres beside parts of the Copper River Delta State Critical Habitat. Its modern landscape was dramatically altered in 1964, when the Alaska earthquake uplifted much of the area and moved the shoreline inland by more than a mile, helping create its broad beaches. Remote and without fresh water, the park is used for beachcombing, boating, camping, clamming, and hunting. It also holds ecological importance as a site of shorebird rookeries and a primary migratory route for seabirds and waterfowl.
