Just
225 scenic miles from Anchorage, the road to Homer
is open year-round. Drive south on the Seward
Highway, a designated national scenic byway and
connect with the Sterling Highway. It's a visual
feast, covering miles of highway through mountains,
spruce forest and coastline. The drive takes four to
five hours on dry roads, but provides views that
anywhere else would qualify as a national park.
Homer
is a port of call for the Alaska Marine Highway for
travelers heading out to Kodiak and Dutch Harbor.
Once a month during the summer, the M/V Tustumena
travels 400 miles along the Alaska Peninsula to the
Aleutian Islands, stopping in six different
villages: Chignik, Sand Point, King Cove, Cold Bay,
False Pass, and Akutan. For more info, contact;
