Paddling near Kodiak, AK

Kodiak sits on Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alaska, at the heart of a sprawling archipelago covering thousands of square miles of coastline. The area is widely regarded as some of the finest sea kayaking in Alaska, combining undeveloped shoreline, abundant marine wildlife, and a mix of protected bays and exposed open-coast paddling. Raspberry Strait, Ugak Bay, Pasagshak Bay, and the broader island chain are the marquee waters here.
