Many visitors choose to stay at Homer, Alaska bed and breakfasts because Homer is the "Halibut Fishing Capital of the World.” The deep water of Kachemak Bay provides ample fishing opportunities, just minutes out of the town’s harbor.  Right in the middle of the action is “the Spit,” a peninsula of land which juts out nearly a mile into the bay. Charter fishing, restaurants, and shops offer attractions and entertainment for guests. Eagle viewing and bird watching for sea birds is popular, too. The town rises from the coast, and many Homer inns offer stunning views of the bay, islands, and mountains which are often bathed in gorgeous colors at sunset.

Kachemak Bay State Park
Kachemak Bay also offers visitors superb views and over 90 miles of hiking trails within the Kachemak Bay State Park, which is located across the bay from Homer. You can reach the park by boat or plane, but the journey is well worth it to enjoy epic kayaking, fishing, tide pooling and more.
