Eagle Beach State Recreation Area north of Juneau is a scenic stretch of beach and meadow along Lynn Canal, with the Coast Mountains rising across the water. Tall grass, spruce forest and tidal flats give the area a wide-open feel. Picnic shelters and a campground make it a comfortable choice for families and groups, and the beach is a nice place for walking and watching for wildlife. Bald eagles, seals and shorebirds are often seen, and the views are especially good at sunset. Parking is $5, and camping is $20 per site. It is an easy way to enjoy the outdoors near Juneau.
