LaVonne's Fish Camp

$$$ | Kotzebue, AK, USA Fodor's Choice

On an intimate beach on the Chukchi Sea five miles outside Kotzebue, Iñupiat families and locals come to fish, and visitors can spend time here in one of the four simple cabins, joining fish camp activities, sharing meals, and browsing locally made art and craft pieces and meeting the people who create them. The price includes activities and payments to Kotzebue elders who share their Iñupiat way of life with guests. The cabins can accommodate two people, with bedding, continental breakfast, and dinner included. There's a shared shower in the main building and an outhouse on the beach.
