Few communities in Alaska have a history as closely tied to maritime trade and commercial fishing as Seldovia. Set on the southern shore of Kachemak Bay, on the Kenai Peninsula, this small community is reached by boat or air rather than Alaska’s road network. Its harbour has long connected residents with Cook Inlet and the Gulf of Alaska, while the surrounding waters remain central to local life. The 1964 Good Friday earthquake reshaped the waterfront through land subsidence, an event still recalled in the town’s story. St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church reflects coastal Alaska’s Russian Orthodox heritage. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Kachemak Bay and the Kenai Peninsula.
