Nestled in the heart of Alaska's Chichagof Island, Elfin Cove offers a unique experience for travelers seeking tranquility and adventure. This charming community boasts a population of less than 25 year-round residents, but transforms into a vibrant hub with roughly 200 inhabitants during the summer months.  Elfin Cove is car-free, with wooden boardwalks connecting its various points.  Accessibility is limited to floatplanes or boats, adding to its remote charm.

This hidden gem is renowned for its world-class fishing opportunities.  Fishing charters cater to anglers of all skill levels, offering a chance to reel in a trophy catch.  For history buffs, a quick boat trip to George Island unveils a World War II gun emplacement, a reminder of the area's rich past.  The Elfin Cove Museum provides a glimpse into the community's fascinating history through its collection of exhibits.  In the evenings, Coho's Bar & Grill offers a warm atmosphere to unwind with fellow travelers and locals over delicious burgers and refreshing draft beers.  While there are no dedicated restaurants, many lodges provide dining areas where guests can savor fresh, locally-sourced seafood and other delectable meals.   Elfin Cove General Store fulfills your shopping needs, offering a diverse selection of items ranging from clothing and fishing gear to pottery and photo keepsakes.
