Abra Cove Details

Abra Cove is located on the east side of Aialik Bay, across from the toe of Aialik Glacier. Paddle to the back of the cove to check out cascading waterfalls. The Port Graham Village Corporation owns most of the land in Abra Cove, including the best camping area on the north side of the cove. A permit is required to stay here, or to even enter the private land in the cove above the mean high-tide line. However, there is a small public campsite on the rocky south side of the cove equipped with a food-storage locker. The Aialik Public Use Cabin is located just south of the cove.
