The Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies can be found in beautiful Kachemak Bay. Visitors of all ages will be able to connect with the Alaskan outdoors via their many tours, guided walks, educational programs, and overnight events. The Wynn Nature Center is the perfect place to enjoy the beauty of the boreal forest as you gaze at the wildflowers and keep an eye out for bear, moose, lynx, and other animals that call the wildlife preserve home. The Peterson Bay Field Station is a laboratory on the south shore of Kachemak Bay that is only accessible by boat – if you happen to make it over there, keep an eye out for diverse wildlife like harbor seals, octopus, and sea otters.
