Extremely helpful for fishing and hunting. Get licensed here. Buy gear here at local prices. Everything in Homer costs a little more, but the Gear Shed has the best prices and really good fishing and hunting recommendations.

Sightseeing
I’m categorizing this under the sightseeing category because of the amazing 360 degree views, but the restraint doesn’t disappoint either. It’s located at the very end of the Homer Spit so you can imagine what’s in store.
