Frequently Asked Questions

At the deep-water pier on the Homer Spit, the long tongue of land reaching into Kachemak Bay. Downtown is about 5 km away: a shuttle or taxi is needed.
A narrow road running straight out to sea, water on both sides, for several kilometres. It holds the fishing harbour, shops, brightly painted cabins and restaurants: it is the living heart of the call.
Wander the Spit, watch the working boats slip through the channel, then head up to downtown for the Pratt Museum and the galleries. This is a call to savour without rushing.
The Spit, yes, entirely, and that is the main part. Downtown on the bluff sits about 5 km from the pier: plan on the shuttle or a taxi.
A downtown museum that thoughtfully explores the bond between residents and the bay that feeds them: fishing, marine ecology, local art and the history of the region's Indigenous communities.
Yes, by water taxi, to Kachemak Bay State Park on the south shore. It is the most memorable outing of the call: coastal forest, trails and marine wildlife, but it needs a long port day.
Because it is one of Alaska's great halibut ports. Catches are landed and weighed on the Spit in full view, and the fish goes straight onto restaurant plates.
Yes, in clear weather. Mount Iliamna and Mount Augustine rise across Cook Inlet on the western horizon. It is not guaranteed: cloud cover often hides them.
The US dollar and English. Credit cards are accepted everywhere, including in the Spit's galleries and shops.
Yes. The fishing harbour, the halibut weigh-ins and the sea otters in the bay captivate children. Bring warm waterproof clothing: the Spit is cool and windy, even in summer.
