HOMER
Homer is a seaside community of 4,000 residents, with another
8,000 beyond the city limits, overlooking Kachemak Bay and the
Kenai Mountains. 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 the home of a
small boat harbor with over 700 charter and commercial boat
operators year round. Homer offers all the amenities of a first class
small town, with several art galleries, a movie theatre, bookstores, a
natural history museum, several wonderful restaurants, grocery
stores, plus the security of 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 Senior Citizens
Center.

HOMER'S ECONOMY
Kachemak Bay has been inhabited for thousands of years. Native
Alaskans were drawn to its abundant, diverse land and marine
animals and relatively mild climate. In the 1800s, homesteaders and
coal miners made up the area's population and Homer became a
booming town until the demand for coal diminished in the early
1900s. Some years later, the commercial harvest and processing of
fish became the mainstay of the local economy, and Homer became
the commercial and transportation hub of the Southern Kenai
Peninsula. Today, Homer's economy relies on commercial fishing
and the growing tourism industry.

"HALIBUT FISHING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD"
While in Homer enjoy the vast opportunities for halibut and salmon
fishing. Charters are available for fishing trips on (and across) the
bay. Plus, make sure you visit the Fishin' Hole on the Homer Spit to
take advantage of the salmon runs. Fishing licenses are required for
any fishing or clamming. Homer has some of the finest halibut
charter operators around and Coal Point Trading Company, on the
Homer Spit, will process, freeze, and ship your catch.

KACHEMAK BAY STATE PARK
Kachemak Bay State Park is located across the bay from Homer,
Alaska, and accessible only by boat or plane. Many species of
wildlife live here including black and brown bear, moose, mountain
goat, wolverine, and lynx. Kachemak Bay State Park comprises
over 300,000 acres of pristine wilderness and is one of the largest
coastal parks in the United States. The park has designated trails,
catering to all levels of hikers, as well as easily traveled alpine
tundra. Weather can be an issue at times so make sure you plan
your hike accordingly. Taking advantage of guiding services in the
park assures a safe and enjoyable day.
