Review:
A hidden gem of Whittier is its charming Head of the Bay. Literally the head of the bay, this shore greets the beautiful water of the Prince William Sound and is every nature photographer’s dream.
Head of the Bay is characterized by its beach of flattened rocks. Enjoy picnics out on the beach, take long walks along the shoreline, or enjoy animal-watching care of the mountains around you.
From the head of the bay, visitors can also enjoy a nice view of the downtown area. Locals often enjoy evenings by the firepit at this beach as well as tide pooling during the warmer months. Whittier Beach Map
