Halibut Cove is a little jewel tucked away in Alaska's first state
park, Kachemak Bay State Park. The park area is a total of 400,000 acres
of mountains, glaciers, forests, coastline and ocean. Visitors frequently
observe sea otters, harbor seals, porpoise, and a variety of whale
species. Halibut Cove welcomes the many visitors it hosts each and every
year, but at the same time makes every effort to ensure that Halibut Cove
remains the beautiful, quiet paradise it has become famous for. Residents
are a close-knit community and value their peace and their privacy.
Halibut Cove is a living experience like no other and I am sure any of the
residence will confirm that statement!!
