Sightseeing

The Homer Spit is a must-see. An old glacial moraine, this long, skinny finger of land extending into Kachemak Bay is quite the hopping place in summertime when the restaurants, shops, and activity centers are all open. Eat fresh seafood, sample ice cream parlors, book a bear viewing flight, or head out on a fishing charter. The iconic Salty Dawg is also on the spit.

Beluga Lake is the float plane lake for Homer. All seaplane flightseeing tours depart from here. It's neat to stand on the road bridge at Lake Street and watch them fly right over your head at low level. If you follow the road along the south side of the lake out to the airport, there are two pullouts for wildlife viewing near the end (one on a high deck in the trees, and another where you descend stairs to the forest and walk a few steps out onto a wooden platform at the edge of the lake). Both spots can be great for birdwatching and moose spotting, especially in the early morning before the seaplane tours get going for the day.

Located on the Homer Spit, this beach park is great for walking, beach combing, wildlife watching, and running your dogs. Bald eagles and sea otters are frequently sighted here.
Lovely network of easy trails about 20 minutes east of town. In the summer, the wildflowers are prolific. In the winter, this is a favorite for cross-country skiers.

"By far the most popular day hike in Kachemak Bay State Park, this easy trail takes you to Grewingk Glacier Lake. Very little elevation gain. Walk in the path of the receding glacier through a boreal forest out to the glacial moraine. Follow cairns to a lake filled with ancient ice. Enjoy spectacular views. You can see and hear the glacier calving. Hikers most often return via the Saddle Trail." Located across the bay, this stellar hike requires a water taxi ride. www.homeralaska .org/things-to-do/outdoors-and-recreation/hiking-and-trails/

Homer is the jumping-off point for day trips to one of Alaska's remote national parks. Board a floatplane from Beluga Lake for the 90-minute flight to the heart of brown bear country, then spend the day walking among the bruins with your pilot/bear guide by your side. A wildlife photographer's dream. www.baldmountainair .com
