Getting to Granite Point
Granite Point is a remote property only accessible by boat or helicopter. Booking your trip to Granite Point is super easy!
- Seward Water Taxi (907-362-4101) costs $100/person round trip, and takes about 30 min from the Seward Marina to the property. If you choose to take the water taxi, it will pick you up at the South Public Boat ramp at the time you specify. Parking is directly adjacent to the dock for $10/day.
- Marathon Helicopters (907-224-3616) The flight takes approximately 10 minutes for up to 3 people and gear. If you choose to take the helicopter, departure is from the Seward airport. Marathon Helicopter’s office is the 3rd building on your left on Airport Road. Ample free parking is available there.
- Finally, if you own your own kayaks or boats, you may provide your own transportation. Granite Point is a 7 mile paddle from Fourth of July Beach. If you choose to motor your own boat to the property, there is great anchorage right in front of the property.
Please note, this is a remote setting. To reach your cabin, guests will ascend four steep staircases and traverse a short trail. As such, travelers should be self-reliant, in good physical condition, and prepared for a bit of adventure.
Why this cabin?
Great for families, couples, or groups of friends, The Coop offers a spacious floor plan with plenty of space to unwind, connect, and enjoy the serene views. This cabin is set privately down the beach from other Granite Point cabins, with its own staircase on a secluded rocky bluff, making for a quiet and intimate stay.
Things to Do
Granite Point is an adventurer’s paradise. There is no shortage of things to explore during your stay here. We provide complimentary use of kayaks and paddle boards. We supply PFDs, paddles, spray skirts, and additional safety gear you may need.
From our beach you can explore tide pools and sea caves during the low tide. Additionally, the fishing from the shore is incredible. You can fish from the beach or our kayaks, and have a shot at catching King, Silver, or Pink Salmon, Halibut, or Rockfish.
