Plan Your Visit

Cape Krusenstern National Monument is one of America's most remote treasures. Here, you have an opportunity to experience wilderness on a scale above and beyond anything you may have encountered. Cape Krusenstern is a coastal plain dotted with sizable lagoons and backed by gently rolling limestone hills. The treeless landscape of the cape gives you the feeling of being able to see forever.
