Douglas Island

West of Juneau, Alaska, Douglas Island is connected to mainland Juneau by a single bridge. Recently, there have been plans to build a new one from North Douglas to the Mendenhall Valley.

Douglas has many interesting features:

• The remnants of late 19th century to early 20th century gold mines
• Sandy Beach, the only beach in the Juneau area which is sandy
• Eaglecrest Ski Area
• The Douglas Public Library

Douglas is usually thought of in two areas:

1. Downtown Douglas
   1. Sandy Beach
   2. Mines
   3. Douglas Public Library
   4. Bridge to Juneau
2. North Douglas
   1. Eaglecrest Ski Area
   2. A heliport
