Get in

Get around

There isn't a public transportation system to speak of in Homer so your options come down to walking, riding a bike, hitching a lift or renting a car.

Walking

Distances as with most places in America are fairly large but there are good footpaths all around Homer and if you are fit walking can be a great way to see and get a feel for the town.

See

• Homer Spit, Open all year, however shops at the end of the spit generally close around mid September and re-open in April). A massive man made spit built out into the middle of the bay that claims to be the further west that is accessible via road on the north American continent. Spectacular wildlife can be seen along the spit being well known for the flocks of bald headed eagles that nest and feed there. A walk from the start to the end of the spit will take around an hour. A walk along the beach is a beautiful way to see the spit but be careful of the tide as the beach isn't always accessible at high tide.

• Skyline Drive, Open all year, is a beautiful way to see the spit from above (it's actually where most of the postcard photos come from). It is an easy 5 minute drive up a windy road to the lookout up the top, however walking up the road will take you about 45 minutes but provide you with lots of opportunities to stop and marvel at the surroundings (traffic is low and there are plenty of places to step out of the way of cars and trucks).

Do

• Public Library, has free internet access (although they have a donation box) with a signup sheet waiting list.

Sleep

As with most accommodation in Alaska it is best to ring ahead and book a place a few nights in advance during the spring, summer, autumn (fall) tourist season.

Budget

• Homer Hostel, 304 West Pioneer Avenue, Homer, Alaska 99603. Phone: +1 (907) 235 1463. Email: homerhostel@homerhostel.com. A small (sometimes cramped) but friendly hostel on the outskirts of town around a 30 minute walk away from the Homer Spit. The hostel is located in a historic house with bunks that are a bit wobbly but perfectly fine, however upstairs has a large glass window that lets lots of light in during sunrise (in late spring, summer, early autumn) so if you aren't an early riser get a bunk downstairs. USD $23-$70 (including tax). Bunks in a shared room ($23), Private Rooms for 1-5 people ($50-$70). http://www.homerhostel.com/.
