City of Homer Port & Harbor

Homer

The feel

This is a small boat harbor on the Homer Spit, used mainly by small commercial and recreational fishing boats. You drive straight to it along the Spit. Transient moorage and fuel dock services are available, so a visiting boat can tie up here.

The harbor also has a load and launch ramp, vehicle and trailer parking, an ice plant and fish dock, and a haul-out and marine repair facility.

Mingo says

Handle any paperwork on a weekday, because Saturdays and Sundays are closed. Check the Spit webcam and NOAA marine weather before you launch.

Before you go
