Since you indicated you are interested in hiking and beach combing:
- There are dozens of hikes available in/from the Anchorage area in and around Chugach state park. For visitors, not much else to recommend in Anchorage, but the Chugach is fantastic if one is in Anchorage anyway;
- Similarly, there are quite a few designated hikes/trails from the road on the way down to Slo-dotna and Kenai.
- Captain Cook Recreation Area (Kenai Peninsula) has hiking and beach combing.
- Of course, the mother lode of hiking on the road system is McKinley / Denali. Take the bus, hop off, hike, get back on.
