Prudhoe Bay Travel Guide
Alaska, United States
Prudhoe Bay is a small community on Alaska’s far northern Arctic coast, with a population of 2,174. Its remote position makes it one of the northernmost places in the United States that travellers can reach by air.
Most visitors arrive through Prudhoe Bay/Deadhorse Airport (SCC). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so the area is better suited to experiencing the Arctic landscape than to a conventional beach visit.
