I visited my daughter and we stayed up in a Chalet in the mountains before coming down to "The Spit". The scenery here is MAGNIFICENT! Nothing but Ocean, quait little houses for tourists to buy some treasures and mountains surrounding you. There is also a cool Fish house that is neat to see. We actually saw the boat from one...

Beautiful location but prices on food and souvenirs too high. More

The Spit is where the summer time action is in Homer. It's a very thin 4 mile strip of land with the ocean surrounding it. There is a big hotel with lots of ammenities, shops, bars, food venders with reasonable prices, RV parking and tent camping. It's really pretty and lots of Eagles can be seen. The moose stay in...

The Homer Spit is the essence of Homer. The scenery is second to none. You can wander around the harbor and look at the unique boats. Who knows..............the Time Bandit might even be in port. Or, walk through the gift shops. Don't miss the Salty Dawg Saloon or the Boardwalk Bakery. More
