Welcome to Homer
A Stunning Backdrop for the Alaska World Arts Festival
Art is our greatest means of expression and helps us to understand each other’s
history, traditions and values. It honors the differences between cultures, and
at the same time allows us to put aside our differences to learn from each
other, work together creatively, and share our dreams. Art is a potentially
metamorphosing treasure and an asset to all of humanity that brings us
together as a world community. Welcome to Homer, where we all speak the
common language of arts.

Discover Land’s End…
It’s just the
beginning
This is a place where passions are kindled,
a seaside sanctuary where salt-kissed
breezes dance to the rhythm of the surf.
Where otters, whales and shorebirds
frolic outside your window.

Savor fresh seafood and house-made
desserts in the Chart Room Restaurant.
Relax on our beachfront deck. Stroll for
miles on the beach just outside your door,
or take a short walk to the harbor for world-
class fishing, shopping and sightseeing.

This is the famed end of the road, and
just the beginning of your Alaska adventures.

                                          ...just the beginning
