What is a beach landing and why is it special?

Lazy Otter Charters explores the designated wilderness areas of Prince William Sound. This is true, raw coastal Alaska. When you step onto the beach, it seems like you are the first human ever to be there. Our beach landings are made at many different locations around the sound, depending on the time of day, tides, weather, or guests’ preference. Beachcomb, look for wildlife, admire the towering forests of spruce and hemlock, or simply sit back and admire the view.
