Homer is a quaint town situated along the picturesque shores of Kachemak Bay that boasts a thriving art scene. Originally a failed gold mining settlement, Homer eventually found its industry in coal mining and halibut fishing, with its residents coming to call it “the halibut fishing capital of the world.” Beyond its charming small town atmosphere, it is best known as a gateway to admire the natural splendor of this region, from the impressive mountains that dot the horizon to the stunning bay that seals, otters and migratory birds call home.
