Alaska Yurt Rental Description of Quarry Beach.
Quarry Beach yurt is located at the entrance to Sadie Cove on the right. As you pull in to Sadie Cove you will see an alder covered point on your right before it rises to the Grace Ridge. The yurt is at the mouth of the old Quarry that traverses the point from Sadie Cove over to Kayak Beach on the Tutka Bay side. Look for a small bite of a harbor with a small clearing on your left about � a mile from the top of the point. There is no beach at Quarry yurt site; the access is a deep-water harbor that drops off steeply right off shore. On the right side of the entrance to this cove/harbor is some debris that is submerged so enter slowly and come straight in or stay to the left. The harbor is fairly well sheltered and you can safely tie off from shore.
There is halibut fishing and salmon fishing just off the shore at this site. You can access the Grace Ridge trail and hike to alpine from here also. The kayaking is great with access to islands and coves.
The yurt is set up with 3 full size (sleep 2 friends) bunks set up around a central wood stove. We leave an ax and hand saw in the yurt and a one-burner propane camp stove and a pot to boil water.
There is a pulley system in place to hoist your food bag or cooler up off the ground and away from wildlife. We ask that you cook on the fire ring at the beach to keep food smells out of the yurt. There is an outhouse on site, please do not put paper in the hole but burn or pack it out with you.
There is basic safety equipment in the yurt. The yurt cover fabric is fire resistant as is the liner. We put a fire extinguisher in the yurt. There is a first aid kit and basic safety equipment, flares and noisemakers.
You will need to bring bedding and cooking utensils as well as water. There is not a reliable water source at this site. Water is found on the Kayak Beach side of the point about 25 yards up the Grace Ridge Trail off the beach, quite a hike away. All fresh water in the park needs to be boiled for 15 minutes to be free of giarrdia.
Check in as at 1pm and check out is 11 am. The yurts are maintained once a week in the summer. Please sweep up and leave dry firewood inside for the next group.
Thank you for visiting Quarry yurt and we hope that you enjoy your stay!
