About Elfin Cove and Pelican
Elfin Cove and Pelican are tiny fishing communities on the northwest shore of Chichagof Island in Southeast Alaska's Alexander Archipelago, about 100 miles west of Juneau and 90 miles north of Sitka. Elfin Cove is a boardwalk settlement of roughly thirty year-round residents, reachable only by boat or seaplane, set among steep spruce forest and sheltered coves.
Nearby Pelican sits on Lisianski Inlet with a boardwalk main street, a small boat harbor and Alaska Marine Highway ferry service. The surrounding Chichagof and Yakobi Island wilderness is known for brown bears, Sitka blacktail deer, bald eagles and rich saltwater and freshwater fishing. Expedition ships call at Elfin Cove as a remote shore stop; Icy Strait Point on the island's northeast side is a separate cruise facility.
- Climate
- NWS Weather Forecast Office Juneau describes Southeast Alaska's Tongass Panhandle as a temperate rainforest with heavy annual precipitation. Elfin Cove and Pelican sit in that same maritime rainforest belt.
