Sitka Alaska is your Alaskan treasure! Views of Island-studded waters,
stately spruce forests, jagged mountains and towering volcano surround
Alaska's most beautiful seaside town.

One look at lovely Sitka and you'll know why Alexander Baranof, governor of
the Russian American Company, decided to build his "castle" here. With
views of island-studded waters and stately spruce forests reaching to the
water's edge, Sitka is considered Alaska's most beautiful seaside town.
Sitka's past is a unique blend of Tlingit culture and Russian history.


Our historic and scenic community is situated on Baranof Island, nestled between forested mountains and the great
Pacific Ocean, on the outer waters of Alaska's Inside Passage. Sitka offers a combination of Native culture, Russian
history, and Alaskan wilderness which will provide a diverse and unequaled experience.

Wildlife adds to Sitka's natural beauty. Our mild climate, rich habitat and relatively low human population make Sitka
one of the best places to view wildlife. Nearby waters are a popular feeding ground for humpback whales in the late
fall and early spring. Summertime provides a wonderful opportunity to view tufted puffins and other sea birds at St.
marine wildlife.

Sitka lies at the heart of the largest temperate rain forest in the world, the Tongass National Forest. Enjoy the fresh
outdoors on well-marked mountain trails. Take to the water for a picturesque boat trip or kayaking adventure among
nearby islands or charter a boat to nearby fishing grounds to fish for world-class salmon and halibut.
