Alaska’s stunning and unique Homer spit!
The Homer Spit, is a natural formation jutting into Kachemak Bay for nearly five miles. This narrow strip of land offers breathtaking views, recreational activities, shops, galleries, restaurants, and accommodations, altogether making it a delightful destination. It is definitely one of the most unique places to experience Alaska's rugged beauty.
Note: The earthquake mentioned was the 1964 Great Alaskan Earthquake which measured 9.2 on the Richter scale. The sandy spit was prone to liquefaction and some estimates are that today the spit is half its original width.

You should! Alaska is amazing. If you don’t follow my son Josh at through my lens you should check it out as he has great Alaska videos and tips.
The town should sell shirts that say “I came here just for the halibut.”

Brings back memories from two years ago when my wife and I stayed at the Lands End Motel. Wish I had done a fishing charter.

Went in 2021 and wish I had spent more time in Homer! We spent most of the day hiking Grace Ridge acrross the harbor and I have zero regrets about that but more time in Homer would have been nice! I could spend a whole week out there!

Fantastic! I didn't know why it was Homer Spit, I am actually surprised I didn't know what a "spit" was! Cool. I made it to Alaska and will be visiting there in a few weeks! Thanks!
