For a small fishing town, Pelican offers a surprising array of accommodations – from do-it-yourself camping on the beaches of Lisianski Inlet to all-inclusive lodge experiences. Other options include the city-owned bunkhouses, apartment rentals for longer stays, and nearby U.S. Forest Service cabins.
In Pelican
Most places in Pelican offer views of Lisianski Inlet and the surrounding mountains. Some are right on the boardwalk, a convenient option that’s also easily accessible to visitors with disabilities.
Bunkhouse/hostel – The city-owned bunkhouses were originally used as housing for Pelican Seafoods employees. Rooms are clean and serviceable with shared bathrooms. Great for large groups or travelers on a budget.
Apartments – Rent a full apartment for more privacy, either overnight or for longer timeframes. Apartments are available right on the boardwalk, or further away for a quiet, secluded stay.

Lodges – There are a few lodges in Pelican, offering an all-inclusive experience with dining on-site and convenient access to fishing and sightseeing charters.
Near Pelican
Beach camping – Camping along the beaches is the first choice for kayakers exploring 22-mile long Lisianski Inlet and the well-protected Lisianski Strait. A bit of local advice: If you want the security of not having a four-legged creature visit your campsite, choose a smaller island to set up for the night. They are usually bear free.
U.S. Forest Service cabins – Tongass National Park offers several U.S. Forest Service cabins, most accessible only by boat or charter flight. The two closest to Pelican are at White Sulphur Springs, the Bohemia Basin shelter, and Greentop on Yakobi Island.
