About Sand Point
Sand Point is a welcoming coastal community on Popof Island, located off the tip of the Alaska Peninsula near the Bering Sea. Commercial fishing drives daily life and the local economy, supported by a busy harbor and a major seafood processing plant. First founded as a cod-fishing post in 1898, the town has deep Aleut roots and a strong maritime tradition. Today, residents enjoy a close-knit neighborhood feel with a local K-12 school, incredible coastal scenery, and travel connections via regional flights and the summer Alaska Marine Highway ferry.
