About Homer

Ships that fit tie up at the Deep Water Dock on the Spit, while larger ships anchor in Kachemak Bay and tender guests in. Some small ships stay overnight. Guests spend time on the Homer Spit, a strip of land about 4.5 miles long reaching into Kachemak Bay, or head into town. The Spit is known for its boat harbor, galleries, seafood restaurants and fishing charters.

In town, the Pratt Museum and the Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor Center cover local history and the marine wildlife refuge. Homer is also a departure point for water taxis across the bay and for bear-viewing flights to Katmai, which usually need advance booking.
