Our go-to list of area businesses you should know about.
Located a short flight or scenic drive from Alaska’s main travel hub of Anchorage, Homer is without a doubt one the state’s most beautiful destinations.
A stop at the top of Homer Hill rewards you with panoramic views
of four volcanoes, picturesque Kachemak Bay with its pristine glaciers, and ranges of snow-topped mountains rising from the sea.
Though world-renowned for its fishing, Homer is also esteemed for its array of fine art, curated museums, marine ecology, fine dining, and award-winning accommodations.
Nonetheless, Homer’s protected fishing grounds and super-abundant halibut population make it a Mecca for sport fishermen.
Most days it’s not a question of whether or not you’ll catch fish, it’s a question of how many and how BIG?!
Many groups of anglers who fish for multiple days will return home with HUNDREDS of pounds of fish!
When visiting Homer many fishermen choose to rent a car in Anchorage. If fishing for multiple days, you may want to consider renting a van so you’ll have room to take all that cold-packed fish home with you!
Hotels are available, yet many customers prefer the private and one-of-a-kind atmosphere of a rental home, cabin, or bed & breakfast. If you’re looking for a place to stay, we highly recommend the following accommodations:
