Driving Directions:
Eagle Beach is 27 miles north of Juneau along the Glacier Highway.
With beautiful, untouched, vista views how could Eagle Beach not receive a 5 star rating? Picnic Areas, Trails, Beach-Front with Sand and typically not crowded with traffic (people, vehicle, or otherwise). Great place to bird watch, look for animal tracks, simply sit and enjoy nature, or watch your kids play with sand/beach toys. Photo opportunities abound!
Summer or winter, Eagle Beach has a lot to offer. This visit found us tucked away in a cabin in a wooded meadow - and exploring along the river next morning. A beautiful space to get away that isn't a long hike - so accessible to those with mobility limitations. And, for those without, much to explore - regardless of season!
