| Page Views: 1,005 Last Visit to Seward: June, 1999 | Seward, a small and friendly harbor town by pchamlis - last update: Apr 20, 2003 |
First and foremost, it's a harbor town Originally purchased at the insistence of US Secretary of State William Seward, Alaska was, for years, called "Seward's Folly". But, that was before the immense beauty and natural wealth of the state was known.
On the southern tip of the Kenai Peninsular is the small and friendly town of Seward, named for the much-ridiculed 1867 Secretary of State. The major industries around here are fishing and tourism. This is a great place to do some whale-watching.
Most people who visit Seward in Alaska do so as part of a cruise. (The townspeople refer to the occasionally onslaught of cruise members as being "boat people") I'd suggest you go to Seward by land, though. Stay with one of the local bed and breakfasts and enjoy a couple of restful days in Seward.
What more can be said about a place where you'll find bald eagles sitting on top of phone booths? |

| Pros: | "Small town atmosphere, great seafood, whale watching, friendly people" | | Cons: | "It rains alot. We were lucky, though.....3 straight sunny days" | | In A Nutshell: | "They called the Alaska purchase "Seward's Folly". This town is a fitting tribute to Mr. Seward's vision." |
