Petroglyph Beach State Historical Site, Wrangell

There is no guidance for where they are. Go right off the info deck about 100 feet and watch larger or flat rock faces. They are spread out over several yards and from sand into water at medium tide. Some get covered sometimes by sand and pebbles from waves. VERY cool feeling to see these. I walked 20 min. from ferry to there. I found them and got these pics in 20 min before heading back. Try to take longer and go at low tide.

Wow, what a cool place to visit while in Wrangell, Alaska. Absolutely amazing beach as it's full of surprises, kind of hidden petroglyphs seen all over the beach (tip: best seen when raining or bring a bottle of water with you in order to pour over the rocks for better view), recommended to hire a local guide in order to gain first hand knowledge of this incredible art work from the local natives, truly a unique experience.

So fun to explore, not a far walk from the cruise ship dock. The first petroglyph is at the bottom of the walk way steps on the right. A bulk of them are to the right of the of the walk way (as you're looking at the beach). The famous killer whale, is amazing and impressive. It is on the cut/mowed grass in front of the first house on the right. Behind the long sea grass. Photo attached. So interesting to actually find and see 'letters' or stories from the past of up to 8,000 years ago. Go explore.

Very interesting with lots of petroglyphs hidden along the beach. We had guides that pointed out a few for us. There was lots of information and you could even make rubbings from some duplicates. The beach was also littered with sea glass.

Easy walk from downtown, there is a hill but my exhausted 5yr old made it. The petroglyphs are just laying all over, but you’ll see the most if you stay close to the boardwalk. Several of them were only visible once you walked around the rock
