Sandspit Point State Marine Park
Location:12 miles southeast of Seward, in Resurrection Bay at the northeast tip of Fox Island (Renard Island).
Facilities:Undeveloped. Fresh water is not available.
Activities:Primitive beach camping, kayaking, fishing.
Special Features:Park includes steep, inaccessible uplands to the west and a half-mile
long spit to the east, with spectacular panoramic views of Resurrection
Bay and Eldorado Narrows. The north beach of
the spit is fine sand, and the variety of marine life found in tide
pools there, the ease of launching and landing, and suitability for
beach camping make this a popular destination for kayakers. The
southern beach on the spit is not recommended for landings due to its
rocky nature and the often heavy surf.
