EXPERIENCING SEWARD
There are two commercial areas of Seward. Downtown has an ‘Old-West, authentic Alaska feeling.
The marina area has more upscale bars and restaurants, and the departure area for most tours.
Last night, we had the best food of our trip at Ray’s Waterfront Dining in Seward. The dining room looks over the marina where we could watch fishing boats coming in, and birds soaring to check out their potential take of the catch.

Jhan and I share the Scallop appetizer and our two entrees – Salmon, and seafood fettucini.

Tonight, we camp on another beautiful beach surrounded by mountains.
The 1964 earthquake and tsunami hit Seward hard. Buildings along the beach were destroyed at that time, and have been moved back to somewhat higher ground. The town decided at that point that anything on the beach should have wheels, so we benefit from these beachfront campgrounds with options both downtown and near the marina.
We enjoy meeting new friends while sitting on the beach next to the motorhome. The group we meet at the campground on the beach describes themselves as a Turk, an Eskimo, a Mexican and an Arizonan – sharing marshmallows, stories and a grill cover substituting for a fire pit. Travelers are amazing people, who expand our travel experiences from our current travel location to worldwide through stories and personalities.
The Alaska Sea Life Center with large underwater viewing areas and sea lion training sessions is located in downtown Seward. It’s a nice place to get up close to native birds, sea lions and other sea life. The Center does marine animal research and acts as a rehabilitation center for sick and injured marine animals.
