Ellamar sits in Ellamar, Alaska at 0 ft MSL. This is a non-towered field with no runways listed in the facts. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL only if that matches your aircraft and local practice. CTAF is 122.9.

The published remarks matter here. Pilings are in the beaching area. Use caution. The docks and cannery are gone. The seaplane facility is no longer used. No services of any kind are available. The beach is covered with large rocks up to 12 inches. That makes this a place for careful planning and a conservative arrival. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. Confirm current conditions with the airport operator or on CTAF before committing to a landing or beaching plan. With no listed runways, no tower and no published instrument approach, this is a field where local knowledge and a solid backup plan matter.
