About

Shoup Bay State Marine Park is situated in Alaska's coastal region, known for its dramatic cliffs, clear waters, and diverse marine life. The park is named after the nearby Shoup Glacier and features a combination of marine and terrestrial environments, making it a unique area for wildlife and visitors alike. Its rugged landscape and remote location offer a peaceful retreat for those wishing to experience Alaska's natural beauty. Visitors commonly engage in activities such as kayaking, fishing, and wildlife viewing, benefiting from the park's rich ecosystems. Access is primarily by boat, as there are no developed roads in the area, and parking is limited to boat launch sites. Weather conditions can change rapidly, so preparation for varying elements is essential. Please confirm hours, fees, and any potential closures with the managing state agency before your visit.
