Thumb Cove State Marine Park Cabins
Description
Thumb Cove State Marine Park is one of Resurrection Bay's most scenic and popular anchorages. The spectacular rock faces and waterfalls of this cove offer the mariner a peaceful respite from the bay's afternoon wind and waves. This marine park has two public use cabins for rent, Porcupine Glacier and Spruce Glacier cabins. The Spruce Glacier cabin is fully wheelchair accessible but requires assisted access from the water landing to the beach berm at the end of the boardwalk.

Directions
Thumb Cove State Marine Park is located on the east side of Resurrection Bay, approximately 7.5 miles from Seward. The park and cabins can only be reached by private boat, floatplane, or commercial water taxi service.

The waters of Resurrection Bay are generally choppy in afternoons and can become hazardous to small watercraft. Anchoring is at your own risk. If pulling a kayak, inflatable or small skiff ashore, be sure to secure your boat to avoid losing it at high tide or to surf conditions. Charter boats are available in Seward and provide shuttle services to and from the park and it's cabins. These cabin may be difficult to reach during the winter months due to wind, rain and heavy seas. Please check the current weather forecast before heading out to Thumb Cove.
