City Walks - Homer Alaska Walking Tour - Virtual Walking tour of Homer Spit - Marina and Shops

Published 2021-10-04
After our earlier walk around the old center of Homer, I take you out to the Homer Spit which was, I believe, actually the original location of anglo settlement. We were told the native peoples who lived here originally tended to live on the other side of Kechemak bay, which makes sense, since the spit has very little shelter or food sources on land. The Homer Spit is the tourism center of Homer with its marina. There is a ferry terminal and a hotel as well as little shops on stilts and restaurants as well as water taxi services and Halibut charters. Known as the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World, lots of folks come out here to try and land one of these large, flat, flounder-like fish. We will also pass a shipyard where large commercial ships are in dry dock.

I use to walk this almost everyday back in 1990/91 on my way to work. Wish that I had a paved path and restrooms back then. That would have been convenient. Thanks for the memories brother. The spit is so much more built up. Going back to Homer for the 1st time in 23years next month.

You must be pretty wet after this one. The rain doesn't seem half as bad with all those bright, colourful buildings. Wish we had more colour in the cities. Thanks for another great walk.😊

By lands end as a little kid my favorite thing to do hands down was go to the beach at low tide and poke around tidal pools for sea creatures. Still to this day love marine life.
