What you'll see 🌄 Big views🌼 Wildflowers🦌 Wildlife

A wide flat beach outside the park boundary, and the best birding in the area.

Tips
Technically outside the park in the town of Gustavus, but the obvious walk if you are staying there. The land here is rising several centimetres a year as it rebounds from the weight of the vanished ice.
Location

Gustavus, near the town dock
