Most fishing charters out of Valdez will pass by Porpoise Rocks for halibut charters, your best fee maybe asking for a drop off and pick up.
Porpoise Rocks consist of one large level rock and many other large rocks of various shapes. The rocks are surrounded on three sides by Hinchinbrook Island, and sit between Port Etches and Hinchinbrook Entrance.
They serve as a rookery for Tufted Puffin and gulls.
Naming: The name was first published in 1869 Coast Pilot. They were called "Ostrova Ptichi," meaning "bird islands," in 1830 by Russian pilot Ivan Chernovo. The rocks were called "Los Negritos," or "the little black ones," on an anonymous 1779 Spanish "plano."
