The other contributors below have captured the mood very well. The site is a short stroll, on level ground, from the ferry terminal and you can choose to spend only a short time there if that's all you have - you'll certainly see some of the petroglyphs.The exhibition on the platform above the beach is of reproductions of the original carvings. Go down the stairs and turn right to start looking for the real thing. Once you spot one, you'll find that you start to see others. Quite a few are badly worn by the tides. We found it a restful and enjoyable way of spending time in Wrangell - and do talk to the other people you'll find doing the same thing, it helps to make it a party.Also spare a thought for the people who carved them so many years ago and what their lifestyles must have been like.

Make the Petroglyph Beach a stop on your visit to Wrangell, Alaska. Here you can search for the many rock carvings scattered along the beach. Many locals frequent this beach and enjoy friendly conversation about the area they call home. Very enjoyable and the scenery spectacular from here!

Take an easy walk from downtown Wrangell to Petroglyph Beach. There is easy beach access via the observation deck using either stairs or ramp. Even if not low tide you can still see some of the petroglyphs. You really need to hunt and look. Some are easy to spot and others are very faint and eroded. If you are lucky enough to see a tour from the cruise ships at the beach, lend and ear to hear the stories and watch where they visit for quicker spotting. Pretty views from this beach, quiet, and relaxing too, although we didn't stay long because the rain continued to get heavier as time passed.

We headed out while it was raining and made for perfect spotting weather. The rain helped make the petroglyphs pop. Recommend going at low tide and be warned parking allows for two cars at a time and it feels like you're invading on someone property as you take the boardwalk steps down to the beach.

The petroglyphs are very interesting to see but not so easy to find. It's a 30 minute walk (a bit over 2 km) from the harbour, north along Evergreen Avenue - just follow the road above the shore. There's a signpost to the left eventually and where this meets the beach is a wooden platform with an informative display. Go down to the beach and walk to the right, past the wreck and abour 50 metres or so beyond, stand and take a long hard look among the black rocks in the sand. Finding them is half the fun. As soon as you see one, you'll start to spot others - depicting animals and other things. By the time you get back to Wrangell, you'll be ready for a coffee or a beer to talk it all over with.

A quaint beach with hidden treasures all around! After reading the info on petroglyphs, we went on to the rocky beach in search of more petroglyphs left in their natural element. We searched and searched and was ready to give up, when we finally saw one. It became much more easy to find and was truly a fun treasure hunt! It would be a great fun for a family with kids of all ages.

The Petroglyph Beach is amazing, but with dramatic tide swings (16 feet or more each day) the sand is sanding away these ancient carvings in stone. There needs to be some kind of intervention to preserve them. We did notice some tagging in a couple of spots.

This beach is totally worth a visit if you have time. Try to make sure you get there during low tide for the best beachcombing, but even at high tide you can still see some of petroglyphs. There are a very friendly dog and cat who life in the house right next door that make the visit that much more interesting. Be warned though that if you throw the Lab's ball, he won't leave you alone. Anyway, its a fun stop solo or with the family. Very easy access.

While it felt amazing to see these ancient rock carvings they were hard to spot as over thousands of years the sea has eroded them

Only about a half mile outside town and an easy walk. It was neat and we had almost complete solitude on this self-guided outdoor "museum".
