Point Hope Travel Guide
Alaska, United States
Point Hope is a small, remote community in Alaska, United States, with a population of 701. It sits in the Arctic on Alaska’s far north-western coast, making it a very different destination from the state’s larger towns and cities.
Travellers arriving by air use Point Hope Airport (PHO). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so visits here are better planned around the community and its Arctic setting rather than a conventional beach break.
