If you are visiting Anchorage between mid-July and August, when the salmon are running in Cook Inlet, you should consider a visit to Beluga Point, where Beluga whales are often spotted. The rocky outcrop is located just 6.5km south of Anchorage, where it makes an ideal lookout spot for those who would like to do some land-based whale watching. There are interpretive signs to assist. If you are lucky enough to see a few of the 300 -375 all-white Beluga whales who frequent the area, you should also be on the lookout for the tell-tale black fins of orcas, who sometime pursue the Beluga whales in this area.
