A Small Local Guide to the Homer Alaska Community


Kenai Coastal Mountains | Homer Alaska


Whether you are visiting Alaska for the first time or on an annual pilgrimage to ‘The Last Frontier” Homer is the must see of this great state.

Homer , “the hamlet by the sea”, is central to the greatest activities offered across the state and offers vistas that will leave you with the sense that you have just seen one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Some of the bounties that Homer offers are:
The richest halibut waters in the world, halibut charters, king salmon charters, silver salmon charters, trout fishing, fishing charters, brown bear viewing, bear hunts, hiking, mountain bike trails, sea kayaking, and nearby glaciers. Homer also has a museum, art galleries, sight-seeing tours, the Salty Dawg Saloon, sailing, kite surfing, fly-in fishing, Alaskan water adventures, fine dining, live music, Pier One Theatre productions, Islands and Oceans visitor center, beach walks, sun sets (depending on the time of year!), camping, four wheeling, ferry service to Kodiak & Seldovia, geo caching, Bed and Breakfast, local winery and brewery …… and the list goes on!
If you are making your way here we would love to be a part of your Alaskan experience.
