Paddling near Homer, AK

Homer sits at the base of the Kenai Peninsula on the shore of Kachemak Bay, one of the most productive coastal ecosystems in Alaska. Sea kayaking is the dominant paddling pursuit here, with calm coves, tidewater scenery, sea otters, seals, porpoises, and whales regularly encountered on the water. SUP is also practiced, particularly off the Homer Spit. Water taxis ferry paddlers to secluded launch points across the bay, and fly-out trips extend the range to remote areas such as Port Chatham and Chrome Bay.
