Sea Star Cove Cabin is located on the south shore of Tutka Bay. Tutka Bay sits at the western end of Kachemak Bay State Park, between Jackalof Bay and Sadie Cove. Sitting above the bay 300; Sea Star Cove Cabin faces directly up Tutka Bay with a great view toward Eldred Passage and Cook Inlet.

Sea Star Cove Cabin offers a host of recreational opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. Fishing, boating, kayaking, and hiking just to name a few. You will have the opportunity to observe sea otters, seals, porpoise and whales. Land mammals include moose, black bear, mountain goats, coyotes and wolves. Bird watching is another favorite pastime; species include eagles, gyrfalcons, and puffins.

Location:
14 miles from Homer harbor and is located on the south shore of Tutka Bay, approximately 1.2 miles south of the entrance to Tutka Lagoon. When boating into Tutka Bay from Eldred Passage, stay in the middle of the bay and away from the south side as there area many underwater rocks and spires along the shoreline. When you reach the cove, use the beach on the right side as one faces towards shore and be careful of rocks. From this side of the beach, a small staircase and trail lead to the cabin located on a small knoll, approximately 300 feet above the beach.
