Situated on the beautiful, mountain-ringed coast of Kachemak Bay, Homer attracts increasing numbers of visitors for camping, boating, sightseeing, and sportfishing. Many of Alaska's artists live here, attracted by the spectacular marine and mountain views. The Pratt Museum features marine and historical exhibits.






Homer lies at the end of the Sterling Highway, about 225 road miles from Anchorage. Kachemak Bay carves a 40-mile-long indentation in the southwestern edge of the Kenai Peninsula, and it is one of the most scenic bodies of water in the state. The bay's mild climate attracts visitors year-round. Glaciers from Harding Icefield descend toward the bay, providing a locale for winter sports all year.
