Komakuk Beach, Arctic beach in Ivvavik National Park, Canada
The beach stretches along the Beaufort Sea with a mixture of fine pebbles and silt forming the distinctive northern Canadian shoreline.
The location operated as DEW Line station BAR-1 from 1957 until 1993, serving as part of North America's early warning radar detection system.
The Inuvialuit people inhabited this area until 1993 when they relocated to communities in Northwest Territories, including Aklavik and Inuvik.
The beach lacks amenities and accommodations, requiring visitors to bring supplies and arrange transportation through Ivvavik National Park administration.
The beach records extreme temperatures dropping to -51.8°C during winter months while receiving only 161.3 millimeters of annual precipitation.
