Review:
Rotary Beach, also known as Bugge Beach, has been attracting locals and visitors for a fun-filled day since 1925. There are not many alternative beaches in Ketchikan due to the combination of cold temperatures and distracting sea life such as seals and salmon. Rotary Beach, on the other hand, has a cement causeway that allows tidewaters to come in and warm up in a protected pond – making it the perfect place for families to spend a day in the water. You can swim while enjoying scenic views of Nichol’s Passage, enjoy a hot dog from Tatsudas, bring your own picnic, or sit around a firepit as the sun sets.
