Shearwater Cove was built by hand by owners Jason and Charity. Our guiding vision was to create a space for guests to experience the Alaskan wilderness without having to give up their creature comforts. We are a small, locally owned company which means a highly curated and personalized experience for each of our guests! Shearwater Cove was established in 2016. We are home to 7 oceanfront yurts that are accessible only by boat from Seward, Alaska. Shearwater Cove also features a waterfront pavilion that is perfect for watching marine wildlife and mingling with other guests and our friendly staff. Shearwater Cove is off the beaten path and offers guests a unique way to experience the wonders of the Kenai Fjords. Our protected location in the heart of Resurrection Bay makes Shearwater Cove an ideal location for sea kayaking for both beginners and experienced paddlers alike! We are surrounded by world-class kayaking destinations, all accessible within a 1 mile radius of our yurts. Shearwater Cove also offers guests the opportunity to explore on foot via our three trails that depart directly from the yurts. Each trail reaches a unique destination with perfect locations for epic photo shoots along the way. Our staff members are well experienced in Alaskan hospitality and consistently provide top-notch service for our guests. When you book a stay with Shearwater Cove you are supporting a small business whose greatest aspiration is to provide you the best, most personalized experience possible!
