Sand Point

Sand Point, Alaska also known as Popof Island, is a city situated on the northwestern tip of Popof Island, one of the Shumagin Islands off the Alaska Peninsula. This vibrant city serves as the Aleutians East Borough's commercial center. Sand Point Harbor is a hive of activity, with fishing vessels coming and going. History enthusiasts can explore St. Nicholas Chapel, a picturesque Russian Orthodox church located right by the harbor.

For adventurous day trips, Unga Island beckons. Here, you'll discover a fascinating petrified forest, remnants of what was once one of the Aleutians' largest abandoned villages, and even relics of bygone gold mines. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife – Unga Island boasts a thriving population of bald eagles, puffins, cormorants, and kittiwakes.

Back in Sand Point, you can learn more about the island's industry at Trident Seafoods' cold storage and fish-processing plant. Peter Pan, another prominent company, also has a support facility here. For those seeking a casual evening, Sand Point Tavern offers a friendly atmosphere with a menu of pub fare and drinks.
