Beluga Point Site, Archaeological site at Turnagain Arm, Alaska.
Located along Cook Inlet, Beluga Point Site features rocky outcrops overlooking waters where white whales swim during salmon migration periods.
Archaeological excavations at Beluga Point North revealed artifacts dating between 8,000 and 10,000 years old, marking the earliest human presence in Anchorage municipality.
Native hunters established this promontory as a strategic observation point, using bone-tipped harpoons to catch whales from the stone formations.
The location at milepost 110.5 on Seward Highway includes paved parking areas, observation scopes, and interpretive panels for wildlife viewing.
This National Register of Historic Places site combines ancient human history with current wildlife observation, as belugas appear between July and August.
