Stop by this tiny café for breakfast or lunch. This popular spot on the spit is always hopping. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

If steak is your thing, get a res at AJs and enjoy the moody, dark dining spot that’s quintessentially Alaskan.
A Homer staple, this casual eatery is a great place to take the family to get a taste of Homer’s local seafood scene. Just be prepared to wait, it's worth it!
Salty Dawg on the spit isn’t a place to eat, but everyone stops in at least once for a beer and a photo. If you’re into dive bars, pack some scuba gear: this is as deep a dive as you can probably go!
Located directly next to the Aspen Suites, the Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor Center is a great family-friendly stop. Follow a paved trail and boardwalk to view bald eagles and shorebirds, or head indoors for exhibits like a Bering Sea bird rookery, Aleutian artifacts, and biologist field camps.
Explore the Seaside- True North Kayak Adventures offer breathtaking views of coastal Alaska. Common sightings include sea otters, eagles, seals, and occasionally whales. All levels are welcome.
Learn about Homer’s History- The Pratt Museum is dedicated to the art, ecology, Native cultures, and local history of the Kenai Peninsula. The museum is set on 9.8 acres of well-kept grounds and with hands-on exhibits and a large kid area, this small museum is great for everyone.
Downtown Homer - Downtown Homer is strung along Pioneer Avenue on a sloping hill between high bluffs and the Kachemak Bay. This area of town is home to lots to do and shop. Check out Jars of Clay Pottery, Ptarmigan Arts, and the Fireweed Gallery.
This 4.5-mile long needle of land stretches halfway across Kachemak Bay. It’s a hub for coffee shops, halibut charters, and shopping. Visit them all! Personal favorites include Fleet & Flagship, Salty Girls, AK Starfish Co., Alaska Salt Co., and Homer Clayworks.
A few favorite stores in Homer are outside the tourist traps. Absolutely visit Salt and Pine in Old Town Homer (not kid-friendly) and the original Salmon Sisters location in a standalone building off Ocean Drive.
