Cordova is a uniquely Alaskan community, shaped by its dramatic natural setting, rich cultural heritage, and colorful residents. Cordova is a working town, nestled in the heart of a spectacular wilderness, that still looks to the ocean and forests for its livelihood. Visit Cordova for the best of both worlds, the pleasures of a sophisticated small town and step-out-the-door access to adventure. Visitors from around the globe trek to Cordova to amble across the Million Dollar Bridge, enjoy the magnificent Childs Glacier up close, fish for salmon in the Copper River Delta, explore Orca Inlet, or be surrounded by tens of thousands of shorebirds at Hartney Bay. The town is the perfect compliment to the wilderness. It is a comfortable place to stroll, shop, visit a museum, or linger over a cup of coffee and admire the view of our busy harbor. click here to get a view from our harbor cam (provided by the Cordova Telephone Cooperative)
Cordova is easy to reach (but not too easy) and pleasantly off the main roads of Alaska tourism. We are less than a one hour plane flight east from Anchorage, with daily jet service on Alaska Airlines as well as regular commuter air service on Era Aviaton.
Designated as an "All American Road" in 2005, the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system links Cordova with the road systems in Alaska via the ports of Whittier or Valdez. For summer 2010 they have implemented the "Driver Goes Free" incentive for any "mirror image" round trip between May 1, 2010 and Sept 30, 2010. A mirror image round trip is when a traveler departs from port A and travels to port B, then returns from port B to port A. Cabins, food and other items are not discounted.
