Seldovia: City of Secluded Charm
There are many places in Alaska that feel like you’ve just stepped onto another plane of existence. Places that make you ask yourself, “Is this real?”
Seldovia is one of those places. The first time I visited, I stepped off the ferry onto the sun-bathed dock. I was greeted with the sound of music carried on the soft breeze from shore. A man was sitting peacefully in the shade with two dogs playing a wooden flute. It was a moment so vivid and peaceful that I can picture it clearly to this day. An intrinsically coastal community, Seldovia’s connection to the ocean presents itself in every direction. From boats stored neatly in driveways to art made from marine equipment.
The Seldovia area is the traditional homeland of the Sugpiaq people. I encourage you to learn more at Travel Alaska and learn about the unique history and culture of the Seldovia Village Tribe.
