Silver Bay
This beautiful bay lies on the south end of the Sitka road system and is an extension to Middle Channel. Surrounded by snowcapped peaks, this bay is home to krill, salmon, herring, bald eagles, sea lions, and sea otters, and during certain times of the year, humpback and minke whales.
Totem Park
Sitka National Historical park, colloquially known as Totem Park, is home to Tlingit and Haida totem poles, an old Tlingit battle field, and a visitor center that holds both Russian and Tlingit artifacts.
Here, you can walk through a rain forest, contour the beach line, find yourself under a colorful totem pole, and enjoy a ten minute historical film inside the visitor center.

Japonski Island
WW II headquarters for military forces who served in Sitka. During WW II, Japonski Island was connected by a man-made causeway in the 1940's to the surrounding chain of islands which served as a location for bunkers and gunning sites. The island was connected to Sitka by the O'Connell Bridge in 1972.
The beach stretches around a portion of this site. At low tide you'll find a variety of ocean creatures. As the Tlingit people say " when the tide is out, the table is set."
