  • Homer is one of the better known towns in Alaska. Sitting at the southern end of the Sterling Highway, it is home to about 6,000 people - number that goes much higher when tourists, fishermen and cruise ship passengers flood the town in the summer. It is being the end of the land quite literally -- to continue your travel you would need to take an Alaska Marine Highway ferry. There's a symbolic monument over there to mark the end of the road. Homer is such a charm with its waves, yachts and seagulls. And houses standing on poles extended into the sea, just wow. You'll see and hear them all in this video. Thanks for watching!

    beautifully filmed and the mountains coming down to meet the sea are really spectacular--something about hearing the waves, the call of the seagulls, the movement of the water in the bay. Amazing, centering and peaceful--thank you!

      Anything to beat the rat race of the lower 48. Plus with Alaska being a petroleum state it will be the last state to ever mandate electric cars. I'm a vintage car collector and such mandates are a threat to our hobby.

    I just finished The Great Loneliness book and came here.

      Literally came to Homer after reading the book. Must be very inspiring!

    I spent my life working outside on the end of the Spit for 40 Summers and 35 Winters, nicely done you captured the Spit.

      Are there any whales there in the summer?

    • @brianmccarthy1029
      @brianmccarthy1029 Před 9 měsíci

      Orcas and porpoises are not uncommon in the summer, Humpbacks are common in late Summer and Fall. I've also seen Pilot whales and Belugas. @@timcarson1471

    I have a cabin on a lake about 60 miles up the highway. Thanks to this video I may have just convinced a friend to come up and help me build a deck.

      Great to hear, Bill! Anything I can do to help strengthen your friendship ;)

    👍🏼 Can’t wait to go ! July 18th. What’s the weather like there that time of year?

    •  Před 3 lety +3

      Hi Scott. Mid-July the weather should be just perfect! High winds and chance of rain are always there but July-August are the top of the season for you to enjoy. Have fun on your trip!

    Nice video. I have CZcams videos of Alaska too. Its a amazing State. Homer one of a kind

    •  Před 3 lety +1

      Checked out your Tik Tok from Seward, how did you do it? Must be crazy cold out there!

    • @andregilbert8060

    I have been there one time when i went to Alaska to go hunting. We were going out fishing but there was too much wind

    •  Před 3 lety

      Gusty wind and seagulls - Homer has a plenty of these. But it's a very nice town, restaurants are so good. Never went fishing there, but a friend went around Kenai and Soldotna and was happy about it.

      Why is that, if you don't mind me asking?

  • @muffs55mercury61
    @muffs55mercury61 Před měsícem

    Sounds like an awesome town except for all the tourists flooding the place in the summer. I'm guessing that's probably where the city's crime comes from.

    •  Před 17 dny +1

      Overtourism is a huge problem in Alaskan bush capitals like Homer, Juneau etc. With thousands people around you, it is challenging to personally connect to a place.

    • @muffs55mercury61
      @muffs55mercury61 Před 17 dny

      I'm originally from Arizona which I left 34 years ago. Now days the mountain towns up north which don't have the desert heat are flooded with tourists mostly from Phoenix. The residents can't wait for October & November to roll around when the tourists stop coming.

    @hillaryclinton2415 Před 3 lety +3

    There are other things besides the spit.. just a fyi

    •  Před 3 lety +1

      Homer and surrounding area deserve more than this, I agree. It's not ideal to be time bound as I was there. Will plan my time better next time.
