Kachemak Bay Activities

There are many vacation opportunities in the Homer area!
Renting a car is advised.

In Homer, fish for halibut and salmon by charter boat in outer Kachemak Bay. Shop for one-of-a-kind local arts and crafts at Ptarmigan Arts and Bunnell Street Gallery. Visit the nationally acclaimed Pratt Museum for an overview of Kenai Peninsula natural history, the Exxon Valdez oil spill exhibition, and cliff-nesting seabirds and brown bears on the museum's unique visitor-controlled live remote video cameras. Sample homemade candy at Alaska Wild Berry Products. Beachcomb and tidepool along Bishop's Beach or on the Homer Spit. Also in the area are trout and salmon fishing on the world-class Anchor and Kenai Rivers.

Across Kachemak Bay, visit the coastal town of Seldovia with its historic Russian Orthodox church. Kayak around Yukon Island to see incredible geologic formations, sea otters, and harlequin ducks. Dine at the Saltry Restaurant and stroll along the coastal boardwalk in the arts and fishing village of Halibut Cove, or take an all-day wilderness hike to Grewingk Glacier via water taxi. Guided exploration of Alaskan seabirds, humpback whale watching, marine intertidal life at the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies, or puffin-watching at Gull Island Bird Rookery can also be arranged for you.

Across Cook Inlet on the wild Katmai coast are more brown bears per square mile than anywhere else in the world. Trips can be arranged with an excellent local naturalist.
