Bay offering breathtaking views of glaciers,
mountains and wildlife. Homer is known to many as
the 'Cosmic Hamlet by the Sea,' but it was made

Road.'

activities and accommodations. Whether it's fishing,
kayaking, bear viewing, shopping, dining or sight
seeing we have it all to make your Alaskan
experience a trip of a lifetime!
