Point Woronzof, Anchorage

I took my kids to this park to simply take pictures from the car. A jet flew directly over our heads, and the kids wanted to stay to explore. We climbed down the rocks. With help, even my 3 y.o. made it. We spent the hour skipping rocks and collecting the most unusual ones. Other kids on the beach were swimming and scaling the cliffs. Many families were walking, some with dogs. The view was beautiful. Very relaxing way to spend some time.

Steep downhill walk to base of cliff. Beach walk at base of cliff, jets flying directly overhead (taking off from Anchorage International airport), birds nesting in holes dug in cliffs, possible to walk in winter on snow and ice. Amazing views of Cook Inlet, city of Anchorage in distance. Baluga whale sightings - occassionally. Dogs can run free if on command. I loved walking the beach in all kinds of weather, year round. If mud flats are present.... STAY CLEAR! Also beware of tide schedules, you could be seriously trapped by the water with little or no escape. Just use caution. Very few people take advantage of this adventure on the outskirts of town.
