About the Beluga Point
Beluga Point is a popular tourist attraction located along the Seward Highway in Anchorage, Alaska. This rocky outpost offers stunning views of Turnagain Arm, where visitors can often spot the white beluga whales that give the point its name. Interpretive signs and sculptures of belugas are also featured at this location.
During the summer months, from mid-July to August, belugas can be seen in the waters of Cook Inlet as they hunt for salmon. These small, all-white whales use sonar to navigate and catch fish in the silty waters. Keep an eye out for orcas, which occasionally pursue the belugas in search of prey.
Beluga Point was once used by Native hunters, and visitors can take a stroll along the short pathways to imagine what it was like for these hunters with bone-tipped harpoons. It is important to stay on designated paths and not venture onto the dangerous mudflats near the inlet.
The turnout at Beluga Point has paved parking, spotting scopes, and interpretive panels for visitors to learn more about the area. It is located at milepost 110.5 on the Seward Highway, just 6.5 miles south of Anchorage. Don't miss the opportunity to witness these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat at Beluga Point.
Reviews of Beluga Point
"It was okay. The freeze kicked in and had to leave. We thought we saw a beluga . It was thought. But the view is so cool."
"Took these years ago since I do 3D photo stitching for fun. Needless to say, I give it a 10/10 would recommend,"
"Visited on a partly cloudy Monday night, there were only a handful of people there. So happy I was able to experience this gorgeous sunset! Definitely recommend! NOTE: if you want to get close to the water it is not handicap accessible, you have to cross train tracks. But if you want to stay by the cars there is plenty of designated space to hang out!"
"It is good to stop there but we didn't come across belugas, As we drove a little further down the highway we saw people looking excited and taking photos. We stopped and noticed a few beluga wales, only their backs though. It was fun"
"I come here often from Anchorage to call my 2 sisters in the Lower 48. Very relaxing. Love to watch the water and all the tourists. Years ago, I would drive here to get my twins to nap."
