The Lighthouse Homer

If you are looking for one of the most spectacular places to visit in the United States, pack your bags and head to Homer, Alaska! This small town is located on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, on Kachemak Bay, just 220 miles south of Anchorage. With its year-round outdoor activities and gorgeous scenery, Homer, Alaska, is a destination for everyone.

Anglers may recognize it as the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World, while others may know it as the City of Peonies. However, there’s something for everyone here: beaches, hiking trails, art galleries, museums, national parks, deliciously fresh seafood, and natural beauty.

You can be as active as you’d like with plenty of outdoor adventures, from deep sea fishing to whale watching and glacier hikes. Many of these outdoor adventures are at the beautiful Kachemak Bay State Park. You can also see brown bears on one of the many guided tours out of Homer!

If you’d rather spend your days skipping rocks on the beach, reading a book, shopping, and eating some of the best seafood, you can do all those things at the Homer Spit (which has absolutely nothing to do with actual spit, we promise).

Without a doubt, you won’t regret visiting this fishing town at the end of the Sterling Highway. As a matter of fact, most visitors miss Homer as soon as they leave. So, if you want to know more about this amazing part of the world, keep reading to find the best things to do in Homer, Alaska!
