- Cold Bay, Alaska, United States
- Cold Bay is literally the only town of its kind in Alaska. Located some 800 air miles south-southwest of Anchorage, Cold Bay was originally built to serve as an Air Force Station during World War II. Our small town still boasts the 4th largest runway in the state and therefore it serves as a small hub for the other villages in the Eastern Aleutians. Cold Bay is one of Alaska’s many bush towns in that it is only accessible by air and sea. Living in Cold Bay presents its challenges as well as its rewards. Because of our distance from any urban area, most of our food and supplies must be flown in from Anchorage or barged in from Seattle. The Anna Livingston Memorial Clinic provides for the medical needs of the community and provides emergency care for villagers from neighboring communities and commercial fishing fleets. However, the more relaxed pace and freedom from city life is not without benefits. World class salmon and halibut fishing as well as waterfowl hunting are a stone’s throw from our front door. Berry picking, hiking, and bear watching are all just as close as we are surrounded by the rugged and breathtaking Izembek National Wildlife Refuge.
