Welcome to Whittier

Whittier Alaska is a port, wilderness outpost, and former military base 60 miles south of Anchorage at the head of Passage Canal in the western reaches of Prince William Sound. Although only about 280 people live in Whittier year-round, thousands of seasonal visitors arrive by car, ferry, and cruise ship. The town sits beneath glaciated peaks, and the protected waters are perfect for fishing, sea kayaking, and taking sightseeing cruises to see the world’s largest concentration of tidewater glaciers along with whales, marine animals, and sea bird colonies. Most Whittier residents live in one condominium building, and the town has several other interesting sights and historical monuments.
