Aialik Bay

Aialik Bay is a remote fjord on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula in Kenai Fjords National Park, about 33 miles south of Seward and accessible only by boat. Shaped by glaciation, it was carved by Aialik Glacier, which has since retreated 4.5 miles, and before about 1700 the bay’s head was likely farther out near Aialik Sill by Pedersen Lagoon. The fjord contains several glaciers, including Aialik, Skee, and Holgate, and reaches 984 feet deep at its deepest point. Despite having no permanent settlements, it is one of the park’s main destinations, drawing visitors to its coves, beaches, campsites, cabins, and glacier scenery.
