Sterling Highway to mile 117.5. Turn on Clam Gulch Road.
It's an ok spot, game wardens were kinda annoying on their offroad vehicle and the podunks on the beach weren't friendly but you get that. Decent for rock hounding, good variety down there.
BEAUTIFUL!! Bright sunny clear morning with nice views across Cook Inlet to mountains of Katmai and Lake Clark Nat Parksđź‘Ť No clamming allowed thru July 31.
Great stop for an early morning beach walk
Must be my kind of day! I wish anyway, doubt itll get as good as i wish it could being back down this way again. Its been a long while. Brings back good memories of what i miss most :..)
But its peacful here, me and wooly are keeping fairly warm during our camp, we try when we have to. For those of you who dont know Wooly is my Ferret and he is 4 years old :). Its not crowded at all here, no doubt cause of the salmon festival going on in ninilchick. On my way there to help get it on the map ;).
Its another great place to get away with family, friends or pets. Is fairly remote so be watchful for bears if you have open food containers. Public restrooms are cleaner than you usually find so thats good. Lots of trees, three camp areas an open play area thats fairly enclosed. Id still be vigilent about kids and pets if you have them roaming while theres not many people here. Coyotes are known to be in this area too. But their usually not a problem so enjoy yourself and come check it out one day or two or more lol. Especially in the summer. When you enter here keep to the right do not go down the left road before reading the warning marker ive posted on it! Its a fangerous road if youve never had a taste of navigating it, especially on the way back up backwards if your not gonna risk getying stuck on the beach below. Should be ok to launch skiffs at high tide but take it slow and you cant park on the road so backwards down is recommended in my own personal opinion. At least, thats what i would do if i was me lol,!
I love the Clam Gulch beach, and this campground has a beautiful view of it. Perfect for watching those late night/real early morning summertime sunsets. It is great for casual beach walks and agate hunting. Be mindful of commercial setnetters during the Cook Inlet salmon fishing season; stay out of their way for both your safety and for the livelihood of the hard-working locals! I've lived on the Kenai Penisula my whole life, and the Clam Gulch beach has gifted me some of the most incredible take-your-breath-away sunsets I've ever seen.
Need 4 wheel drive to get on beach. Nice peaceful place to walk on sandy and pebble Beach. Some fishermen and nets in the water and tons of eagles. Great beach and some driftwood for fire.
