Review:

Homer is an incredible honeymoon destination, surrounded by majestic snow-capped mountain peaks, shimmering ice-blue glaciers, dense, forested slopes and the cobalt blue waters of Kachemak Bay.

Resting on the famous Homer Spit, which extends out into the bay like a spiny finger, this tiny Alaskan town is protected by the Kenai Mountains, creating a tranquil haven in which you could spend a lifetime.

Breath-taking panoramic scenery attracts visitors from afar, and the town offers a wealth of activities and interesting things to see and do.

Foodies will delight in a variety of coffee bars, gourmet sandwich stores and trendy restaurants scattered around town.

A number of excellent art galleries, museums and theaters attribute to Homer’s renowned reputation as being the cultural capital of South-central Alaska.

The Homer Spit hums with tourists in the summer who are taking advantage of the pristine natural beauty to enjoy camping, fishing, birding, and boating, while the Kachemak Bay State Wilderness Park on the other side of the bay is an oasis for outdoor enthusiasts to explore on foot, by mountain bike or in a canoe.

Where to Stay: Homer Inn & Spa offers incredible views of Kachemak Bay, hot tub, whirlpool and a relaxing day spa.

Where to Eat: The Chart Room Restaurant & Lounge serves local seafood in a beautiful dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bay.

Don’t Miss: A bear viewing tour.
