Where is Seward?
Seward is approximately 125 miles south of Anchorage on the Seward Highway. If you're coming by road, there are many sights to see as you travel along this National Scenic Byway from Anchorage to Seward.
As you leave the largest city in the state, you'll pass Potter's Marsh, a protected waterfowl habitat. Follow the winding road along Turnagain Arm and scan the jagged cliffs for Dall sheep, or watch for the powerful bore tide, pushing the water into Turnagain Arm. The scenery is breathtaking and amazing!
