We stayed two nights at Land's End in Homer. This was right at the end of Homer Spit, which was a really cool place to stay!
We had a great lunch at Boardwalk Fish and Chips, on the Spit... and dinner at Fat Olive's in Homer on the Mainland.
Two other very cool places to visit in Homer:
Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor Center
Pratt Museum
