Science sights in Kenai Peninsula

1. Beluga Point

   • Seward Highway, USA
   • Sights › Science

   Try to catch the bore tide, a neat trick of geography that concentrates the incoming tide into a wall of water up to 6ft tall, which rushes along Turnagain Arm at 15mph daily. Schedules are available at any Anchorage visitors center; note that the most intense waves occur around a new or full moon. Top spots for viewing this satisfyingly loud phenomenon include Beluga Point.
