Individual cottages on the water overlooking Cook Inlet. Close to world-class
fishing. Incredible views!
Homer Alaska and Anchor Point recreation:
A paved multi-use path runs from the base of the Spit by Kachemak Drive
all the way to the Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon, with plans to extend it
all the way to Land's End. Bikers, runners, walkers and roller bladers
share the path. Enjoy the awesome scenery, watch shorebirds in early
May and work up a little sweat.
Get your toes wet with a walk at low tide on broad, sandy beaches. Watch
those tides, though, or you could get stranded on the other side of tide
pools, or forced to walk back along the rougher gravel at the beach edge.
Eagles, shorebirds, gulls and sea birds can be seen along the Spit beaches.
Harbor seals, otters and sea lions often swim off the beach -- sometimes
even orca whales. After a good southwesterly storm, beachcombing can
be excellent for buoys and other treasures of the sea.
ATVs and motorized vehicles are allowed on the inlet side of the beach
west of the Fishing Lagoon to the Mariner Park lagoon. Stay off the beach
berms and out of the lagoon and the mud flats on the northeast side of
the Spit. Drive slowly and respect other beach users. For detailed information
on off-road vehicle use, get the Homer Police Department's "Where
Can I Ride?" brochure.
Thousands of fishermen are drawn to the Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon,
located on the northeast side of the Spit. It also is a popular recreation
spot, drawing hundreds of fishermen and onlookers as the various runs
of salmon come in.
