The Homer Dock is almost always bustling.

Being the Halibut Capital of the World, Homer is an obvious location for some great fishing, whether you're looking for that classic Alaskan fish, salmon, or trout!  Remember to have your fishing license before heading out; visit the Department of Fish and Game website at http://www.sf.adfg.state.ak.us/statewide/ for more information or to register for one.

Homer also has some great hikes and trails catering to all levels of fitness.  The Bishop's Beach Hike is an easy trail that you can follow to fit your schedule, and is perfect for anyone interested in tidal pool life.  In Kachemak Bay State Park, the Spur and Seldovia Otterbahn trails offer short but more intense walks around the area, to find out more information go to http://dnr.alaska.gov/parks/units/kbay/kbay.htm

The Homer Museum offers fantastic displays of everything from Darkened Waters, an exhibit on the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, to local quiltwork and a botanical garden featuring over 150 species of native plants.
