WELCOME TO
KODIAK
Welcome to the Emerald Isle, the second largest island in the
United States!
Rain or shine, rain being more likely, the beauty of
Kodiak captivates residents and visitors alike. Whether an avid
outdoors lover, artist, or someone that simply appreciates a tight
knit community and scenic vistas, history and culture, or the quiet
and seclusion, there is a place for everyone in Kodiak!
The Kodiak Archipelago spans sixteen major islands
consisting of seven communities, Kodiak, Port Lions, Ouzinkie,
Larsen Bay, Karluk, Old Harbor, and Akhiok. Kodiak is the largest of
the communities.
Much of the Kodiak area commerce is driven by the thriving
commercial fishing industry. Virtually every business in Kodiak
benefits from commercial fishing dollars, with nearly 20% of the
population fishing commercially. Kodiak also boasts the largest
Coast Guard Base in the US, and the first privately owned rocket
launch facility.
Rich in beauty, history, and culture, there is plenty to explore
throughout the island. Start exploring your new home by stopping
by Discover Kodiak at the Visitor's Center for maps, helpful tips,
and plan your adventure.
Stop by the Chamber of Commerce to begin your job search, or
learn more about business, starting your own business and social
networking opportunities.
We’ll see you around the rock!

THE COAST GUARD IN KODIAK
© Sarah Phillips
SUPPLIED BY MR. RONY HARDEN
Being stationed on Kodiak, a beautiful island approximately 250 miles southwest of Anchorage, leads to
some amazing experiences for most who are assigned here. Life on Alaska’s “Emerald Isle” can be
wonderful and wild. Summers are full of long periods of daylight, hiking, fishing, hunting, and surfing,
biking, boating, and exploring the second largest island in the United States. Winters on “The Rock” bring
darkness, heavy wind and rain, and occasional bouts of ice and snow, but we still find ways to have fun!
If you’re bringing a family, Coast Guard Base Kodiak is the home of “Rock Solid Support” to all Coast
Guard units on the island and here at Base Kodiak we offer an exceptional array of opportunities.
On-base facilities include a commissary, exchange, movie theater, bowling alley, and a modern gym with
an indoor swimming pool. Off-base there is a Safeway and Wal-Mart approximately eight miles away.
Low crime rates, good schools, a close-knit community, and plenty of year-round activities make it so that
many families who get stationed here don’t want to leave.
