Resurrection Bay

Resurrection Bay is a fjord located on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, United States. It is a popular spot for boat tours and sightseeing of marine wildlife, including harbor seals, sea otters, humpback whales, and killer whales. The bay is surrounded by high mountains and is only five miles wide and 18 miles long, with a maximum depth of 972 feet. It remains ice-free even in winter, making it easily navigable year-round. The bay is also known as the 'gateway to the Kenai Fjords' and is a starting point for many water taxis, kayak tours, and recreational boaters to access nearby Kenai Fjords National Park. There are several parks in and around the bay, including Caines Head State Recreation Area, Lowell Point State Recreation Site, and Thumb Cove State Marine Park, which offer opportunities for hiking, camping, and wildlife viewing
