HOMER PROFILE

Located on the southwest side of the Kenai Peninsula, overlooking Kachemak Bay and the Kenai Mountains, Homer is known as the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World and offers an abundance of fishing opportunities from halibut to salmon, from the boat or the bank.

Four species of salmon, halibut, rockfish, cod and trout all compete for the anglers attention, as does the Homer Jackpot Halibut Derby, The Largest & Longest Running Jackpot Derby in Alaska with thousands of dollars in prizes.

But Homer is also known as an artisan’s community. Galleries, studios and small artisan shops can be found everywhere and there is a large array of boutiques and restaurants of all types.

In fact the magic of Homer is that not only is it breathtakingly beautiful, but it appeals to many tastes, from anglers and sportsmen to artisans and academics alike.

For the outdoor and wildlife enthusiasts, the region's four national parks, five national wildlife refuges, state parks and critical habitat areas support a diversity of wildlife, from seabirds and sea lions to moose and brown bears, killer whales and porpoises.

Celebrating these natural wonders, The Pratt Museum in Homer, recent winner of the National Award for Museum Service, the country's highest honor for extraordinary community service provided by a museum, has indoor exhibits focussing on art, natural history, native cultures, homesteading, fishing, marine ecology and the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

Homer is also known as the Art Capital of Alaska. Many of the world-class art galleries and artist studios participate in a monthly program called 1st Friday in which visitors and locals can interact with the artists. Local writers groups and workshops hold community-wide writing contests and annual conferences and welcome visiting authors too.
