Homer

Around Homer, the landscape is defined by Kachemak Bay and the glacier-carved Kenai Mountains beyond it, which has shaped both the town’s urban form and local economy. The community stretches from hillside neighborhoods to the Homer Spit, a narrow gravel bar projecting into the bay; its harbor supports commercial fishing, charter boats and longstanding marine trades. Across the water lies Kachemak Bay State Park, Alaska’s first state park, reached by boat from Homer. Galleries, small theaters and the Pratt Museum add a cultural dimension to a town closely associated with halibut and the sea.
