Hood Bay

After a long haul, Hood Bay Port, Alaska offers a rugged Alaskan welcome. Disembark and take in the stunning scenery – snow-capped mountains in the distance and maybe a glimpse of a bald eagle soaring overhead. The port itself bustles with activity, but for a taste of local flavor, head to The Sawmill Saloon in nearby Ouzinkie. This no-frills bar serves up delicious Alaskan brews and hearty pub fare – perfect for swapping stories with fellow sailors. Shopping in Hood Bay might be limited, but The Net Loft in Ouzinkie offers unique nautical souvenirs and essentials you might need. Craving fresh seafood after weeks at sea? The Tides & Trails Restaurant in Chenega Bay offers stunning ocean views and the catch of the day. Nightlife is low-key, but you might find live music at The Sawmill on weekends, or you can simply relax under the Alaskan sky and marvel at the aurora borealis dancing across the star-studded canvas.
