Walk Right Along The Pacific Ocean In Alaska On The Easy Homer Beach Trail
If you’re in Kachemak Bay and you want to stroll along the Pacific Ocean, the Homer Beach Walk Trail takes you along some of the most beautiful views on the coastline! It’s easy to pop in at any point on this trail, and take in the peacefulness, along with the views of the mountains across the bay.

In fact, because it's a coastal town, you usually pair the gorgeous scenery with great weather, as well. That makes this trail one of the best in the state for views and weather!

Some of the most stunning of the flowers are definitely the lupine. Growing up to 3 feet tall, they'll frame your walk with beautiful purple colors!

Try to spot the fishing and crabbing boats among the pleasure cruisers. Some of the boats have even been on the Discovery Channel show, "The Deadliest Catch."

You can walk along the water on the sand, although do be aware of the tides if you're strolling a little slower. If the tide comes in you'll have to climb up the boulders to the paved path.

This is a favorite area of bald eagles as well, so keep your eyes peeled! There are usually many juvenile bald eagles around as well. You'll know them by their solid brown color.

Keep watch for the "Boat Graveyard," with picturesque views of boats succumbing to the salt and sea. With the glaciers in the background of every photo, you'll leave with an entire album of beautiful shots!

The best place for parking is at the beginning of the Homer Spit, or at the end of it in the areas where there is public parking for the shops and restaurants. You can start at either end and turn around at any point!
