Pleasant Island (Alaska)

Pleasant Island has a land area of 49.192 km² (18.993 sq mi), had no population at the 2000 census, Colter Barnes is the only person who lives here.

Pleasant Island is located just a couple of miles from Gustavus, Alaska, and Glacier Bay National Park.

Lemesurier Island, to the west of Pleasant, appears different because it rises out of Icy Strait to 2,180 feet (660 m) above sea level.

There are half a dozen nice beaches around the south and north sides of the island where small boats or kayaks can approach and these coves are also good for camping.

This grouping of half a dozen small islands offers refuge to boats from the swells, winds, and tides between the open ocean and Icy Strait.

An abundance of sea and land birds can also be seen near the shores including murrelets, gulls, terns and bald eagles.
