Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in English Bay?
The best areas to stay in English Bay are the town of Homer itself, particularly near the Homer Spit, or, for a more secluded experience, the Kachemak Bay wilderness lodges.

Homer is the main hub, offering a range of accommodation and direct access to the Homer Spit, a long, narrow piece of land extending into Kachemak Bay. The Spit is where you'll find the harbour, numerous fishing charters, art galleries, and seafood restaurants. It's a bustling area, especially during fishing season, and provides a lively base for exploring.

Couples looking for a blend of activity and relaxation will find Homer appealing. You can easily book bear viewing tours, halibut fishing trips, or enjoy a scenic flight from the Spit. The town also has a variety of shops and eateries, making it convenient for evenings out.

For those seeking a truly unique and tranquil experience, the wilderness lodges across Kachemak Bay are an excellent choice. These lodges are typically only accessible by water taxi or small plane from Homer. They offer a chance to disconnect and enjoy the stunning natural beauty, often providing guided activities like hiking, kayaking, and wildlife viewing right from your doorstep.
When is the best time to go to English Bay?
The best time to visit English Bay is during the summer months, specifically from mid-June to late August, when the weather is mildest and wildlife viewing opportunities are at their peak.

During this period, you'll experience longer daylight hours, often with 18-20 hours of sunlight, which allows for extended exploration and activities. Temperatures typically range from 10°C to 20°C, making it comfortable for outdoor adventures like hiking, kayaking, and wildlife cruises. This is also when the salmon runs are strong, attracting a variety of wildlife, including bears and eagles.

Travellers seeking an active and scenic holiday will find this period ideal. The clear skies and accessible trails around Resurrection Bay and the Kenai Fjords National Park offer breathtaking views and excellent photography opportunities. Many organised tours and boat excursions operate daily during these months, providing convenient access to glaciers and marine wildlife.

If you're interested in fishing, particularly for salmon, July and August are prime months. The rivers and coastal waters around English Bay are filled with various salmon species, offering a rewarding experience for anglers of all skill levels.
