  ATTRACTIONS
Homer, on the shore of Kachemak
Bay, is well known for it’s fishing
(notably halibut) and outdoor
adventures, but also for its vibrant
culinary and arts community. It’s the
very last stop on the Sterling Highway
that traverses the Kenai peninsula’s
western shore. Located just over five
hours from Anchorage, it’s a stop
not to be missed on a tour of South
Central Alaska.
Whether it be sea kayaking,
beachcombing, bear-viewing, whale-
watching or birding, Homer has you
covered! Some of the best outdoor
activities are located right in town,
while Kechemak Bay State Park is
just a short boat ride away and offers
some amazing guided hikes and
fishing opportunities. For the foodie
or the artsy explorer, there are many
fantastic restaurants, museums and
art galleries. The Pratt Museum has
great exhibits showcasing Native
American art. The Alaska Islands and
Ocean Visitor Centre focuses on
the unique wildlife present in South
Central Alaska and is free.
Despite its geographic remoteness,
Homer has a bit of a cosmopolitan
feel. It’s a port of call for both the
Alaska State Ferry and a number of
cruise ships, which means there’s
never a shortage of new people in
town. There is even RV camping
available right on Homer’s Spit, a
narrow strip of land, which extends
4.5 miles into Kachemak Bay. The Spit
has been named one of America’s
best beaches for its stunning views
and multiuse trail, perfect for jogging
and cycling, that runs along the
length. The spit is an excellent place
to see “the real Alaska” in action as
the peninsula is home to thousands
of commercial fishing boats in the
summer.
