Admittedly, Alaska doesn’t really come to mind for most people when talking about unforgettable waterfront spots, but that shouldn’t be the case. Alaska has incredible waterfront locations all over the state, which isn’t surprising considering we have over 3,000,000 lakes (named and unnamed) and a coastline that’s longer than all the other states combined! Let’s take a look at some of these jaw-dropping waterfront spots from around the state…
Tern Lake is located just off the Seward Highway and is an extremely photogenic spot in Alaska. I highly suggest stopping the next time you're driving past and gracing your camera with its presence.
If you're in the vicinity of Skagway, then you really should make a special trip to the Taiya Inlet. It is absolutely unforgettable with its mountainous backdrop retreating into the distance. GO, you can thank me later.
