Alaska boasts an impressive 34,000 miles of ocean coastline. This doesn’t count the coastline in the three million lakes found within our great state, either! With an array of beaches to choose from, this hidden beach in Alaska on Kodiak Island is by far one of the clearest and most gorgeous beaches we could find!

While Alaska has many miles of coastline, there are none so pretty as some of the coastline around Kodiak Island.

Nicknamed "The Emerald Isle," Kodiak’s waters are clear and stunning. Many of the residents of the island spend a large part of their day on the water!
It’s no surprise that the clearest blue-green waters we could find were surrounding this remarkable island.

Fossil Beach is a little beach about an hour’s drive from Kodiak. After parking, take a short 10-15 minute walk down to the sandy beach.
Fossil Beach is so named because of the incredible amount of fossils pressed into the cliffs surrounding the beach.

If you head out during low-tide, you’ll have a wide array of places to look for seashell, plant, and other types of fossils. Most are pressed into the sandstone cliffs.
