Tips

You'll probably have to dismount your bike at the intersection with the Coastal Trail and walk it the rest of the way here (or leave it tied up and locked to a tree or the bench at the trail intersection). However, it's worth a quick stop to take in the only real sand beach near Anchorage.

With that said, please stay off the mudflats. They might feel safe when the tide is out, but the water comes in very quickly and the mud turns to quicksand when it does. Some people have died from this (drowning as the tide swept over them), while other have been lucky to escape with their lives.

This is a unique beach access in Anchorage with the highest tide in the US.

The rocky beach area leads out to the mudflats. This is a beautiful place to watch the sunset.
