Remote beaches of Uganik
Bay consist of black shale rocks and sand, sprinkled with
clam shells, driftwood, dried starfish, moon snails and
more; banked against fields and hillsides covered with
alders, willows, cottonwoods and salmonberry bushes.
The beaches and tidal pools,
coupled with drastic 22' tides expose colorful groupings
of marine life. A full mile of beach is accessible directly
from the lodge with dramatic beds of clams and blue
mussels exposed - your course in marine biology has
just begun. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the beach,
flipping over rocks and peering into tidal pools, discovering
a hands on ecosystem that can exist out of water for
hours at a time.
Colorful assortments of starfish
conglomerate for beautiful photography opportunities
- sun stars of incredible orange, red and purple hues
- crabs of various sorts, blennys, sea worms, sea urchins,
sea cucumbers ... ever seen a lion sea slug? Just ask
us about the octopus dens.
