Resurrection Bay, Coastal fjord in Kenai Peninsula, United States.
Resurrection Bay is a coastal waterway on the Kenai Peninsula with steep shorelines and several islands scattered throughout. The body of water supports diverse marine habitats and connects to Kenai Fjords National Park.
The name comes from Alexander Baranov, who named it during a storm on Easter Sunday. A military fort was built along the coast during World War II for defense.
The bay connects to Kenai Fjords National Park, offering opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and wildlife observation throughout the marine ecosystem.
The bay stays ice-free year-round, allowing access from the town of Seward throughout the seasons. Water taxis, tour boats, and private vessels regularly operate from here.
The water reaches considerable depths in places and has numerous smaller coves tucked along the shore. This fjord-like structure creates varied conditions that attract different species.
