Located on the northern reaches of Alaska's Kachemak Bay State Park, this little-known and sparsely populated island retreat is as perfect for fishing and hiking as it is for admiring art in quaint local galleries. You don't need a car to enjoy these wonders, both natural and man-made—in fact, town transportation is limited to walking, boating, and ATVs.
