All About Relocation to Homer Alaska
Great Things to Do in Homer
Homer is a great town to relocate to. The people are friendly and are always willing to lend a helping hand. There is always an event or class going on around town. Check out Community Schools and, for a small fee, learn Spanish, dancing, bee keeping or even join the basketball team! Homer is very well known for the artists in the area. There are many art galleries and art events throughout the year. And you can’t beat the live music by local artists. All year local bands play at events and around town.
Enjoy the Seasons in Alaska
Summer time in Homer is especially festive. Go horseback riding on the beach, hike the Homestead trail, or take a drive along the scenic Skyline Dr. Check out one of the many art galleries or specialty shops along Pioneer Ave. At the end of the day, enjoy a seafood dinner on the spit or try one of the many restaurants around town. Winter here can also be a lot of fun. There is skiing, snowshoeing, and plenty of snow shoveling! Catch a glimpse of the musher’s as they prepare for the Iditarod, and perhaps even take a ride yourself.
See Beautiful Scenery Every Day
The Kachemak Bay area has some of the most beautiful scenery on the Kenai Peninsula. The vista includes snowcapped mountains, their tops hidden behind a thick soup of low rolling white clouds, and the bluish white glaciers iridescently glowing in the morning sunlight. On clear days you can see the active volcano St. Augustine in the distance.
