Along the way, you’ll find plenty of shops, restaurants, and galleries. Stop in at one of the many local boutiques for some unique gifts for Mom or pick up some fresh seafood from one of the dockside vendors.
Picnic on Bishop’s Beach Park
After exploring the Spit, head over to Bishop’s Beach Park for a picnic lunch with Mom. This beachfront park offers breathtaking views of Kachemak Bay and is a great spot for swimming, fishing, or just relaxing on the sand. If you’re feeling adventurous, rent kayaks or paddleboards from one of the nearby outfitters and explore the bay together!
Go Out for Dinner
Once you’ve worked up an appetite, take Mom out for dinner at one of Homer’s many excellent restaurants. Whether you’re looking for seafood dishes or something more traditional like steak and potatoes, there are plenty of options to choose from.
