Naukati Bay is located on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska. Access is by Forest Service Road 2060, boat, or float plane.

History:
Named "Naukatee Bay" in 1904 by the U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey, who recorded it as the local Indian name. It was a logging camp at one time, but later was settled as a Department of Natural Resources land disposal site.
Today, Naukati residents are non-Native logging families and homesteaders. Sale of alcohol is restricted to the local package store.  Sawmills and related logging and lumber services are primary income sources. Employment is seasonal. The Naukati logging camp is a log transfer site for several smaller camps on the Island. With the addition of tourism, the mainstays of that economy remain fishing, mining and logging.
