Another good area for camping and Salmon fishing, as it has some protection from the open Bay. There is another State Marine Park on the south end of Fox Island and two more on the eastern side of this eastern peninsula bordering Resurrection Bay. These are all much more exposed to weather but you'll find some good fishing in these areas also. A variety of marine life makes great saltwater fishing, for your Alaska fishing vacations.

If you don't mind crowds of people, probably the most popular place for an Alaska fishing vacation is on the Western Kenai Peninsula.
