Welcome to Homer!

A quaint town nestled on the shore of Kachemak Bay offering breathtaking views of glaciers,
mountains and wildlife. Homer is known to many as the
'Cosmic Hamlet by the Sea,' but it was made famous in Tom Bodett's tales as 'The End of the
Road.'

Our community is alive with a variety of activities and accommodations. Whether it's fishing,
kayaking, bear viewing, shopping, dining or sightseeing
we have it all to make your Alaskan experience a trip of a lifetime!

Nestled among rolling hills and overlooking Kachemak Bay and the Kenai Mountains, this seaside
community has 5,400 residents and another 8,000
beyond the city limits. In addition to the downtown area of Homer, a unique attraction is the Homer
Spit, a long, narrow finger of land jutting 4.5 miles
into Kachemak Bay.
The Spit is home to our harbor and over 700 charter and commercial boat operators year round, growing to 1,500 in the summer months. Homer
offers all the amenities of a small, first class city, including a hospital, medical clinics, pharmacies, police and fire departments, and a U.S. Coast
Guard cutter for safety at sea. Local, state and federal government offices operate here, as does the Kenai Peninsula College and a senior citizens
center.
