Review & FAQ:
Come and discover historical and cultural treasures at the Petroglyph Beach State Historic Park. This Southern Alaska Beach hides a secret that is revealed only during the low tide – 8,000-year-old rock carvings scattered along the beach’s stony shore. The petroglyphs are believed to have been sketched by the Tlingit people, who once called these shores home thousands of years earlier. 40 rock sketches have been found all over the beach depicting faces, salmon, whales, and the community. The petroglyphs at this state historic park are among some of the most concentrated historic and ancient drawings in the world and a treasure to native Alaskans.
