Sitka spruce, cottonwood, birch, alder and willow trees cover the mountainous terrain around Port Lions, on Kizhuyak Bay. Located at the north end of Kodiak Island, the city was established after the tsunami of 1964 partially destroyed Afognak village on Afognak Island. The community was named in honor of Lions Club International, the service group that helped relocate and build the new village.

Several lodges and charter services offer access to the stunning scenery, fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing throughout Kizhuyak Bay and the surrounding area. Port Lions is also served by the Alaska Marine Highway.
