About Seldovia

Seldovia is often described by visitors as one of the most beautiful places in the world. Tranquil waters surrounded by snow-capped peaks frame a unique and charming community that is home to some 410+ year-round residents.

Seldovia's laid-back vibe is evident from the moment you arrive. If you're looking for a tourist-trap city with a million T-shirt shops, traffic and lame souvenirs, Seldovia is not your place. There are no traffic lights, shopping malls, movie theaters or bowling alleys. But if you're looking for a quaint, unique city with lots of history and authentic Alaska charm, you've come to the right place.

Seldovia appeals to those who enjoy being off and away, and who are invigorated when surrounded by the incredible beauty of nature. And things happen a little slower here. When you arrive, you leave behind the rush.

Getting to Seldovia

Seldovia is only acccessible by water and is located approximately 15 nautical miles across Kachemak Bay from the road system in Homer, AK. For those trailering their boats, Homer has modern launch ramp with plenty of long term parking located nearby. We will have a flotilla of boats departing the Homer harbor on Thursday afternoon. Depending on your boat model and conditions, you should allow at least 2 hours to make the crossing.

Seldovia Harbor

Seldovia has a well managed and modern harbor with all of the amenities you'll need for an enjoyable weekend stay. The Harbormaster is holding space to keep our group together. Moorage is $1.15/ft. Shore power (30amp) is an additional $19.89/night. We will arrange a slip for you as part of registration, but moorage is not included in the registration fee. All fees for moorage will be paid directly to the harbormaster.
