Description
Low tide reveals the stilts that support houses along Halibut Cove. Alaska has extreme tide levels that can go as high as 28 feet, so stilts need to be especially high.
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 that has made it famous. 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!!
