Welcome to Homer Alaska

Cosmic Hamlet by the Sea, Halibut Fishing Capital of the World, there must be something truly special about a town with so many nicknames.

From their first breathtaking glimpse of the Homer Spit from the Sterling Highway coming into town, visitors to Homer are struck by the awesome natural stage on which the little city sits. The looming peaks of the Kenai Mountains, packed with ancient glaciers and brimming with abundant wildlife, stand sentry over Kachemak Bay and, across the water, the town of Homer, where a curious blend of hearty Alaskans - fishermen, outdoor adventurers and talented artisans among them - make their home.

It's the unmatched natural bounty that draws most folks to Kachemak Bay and to those who come back for a repeat visit or to stay and carve out a life here, it never fails to inspire.
