Kachemak, AK

united states

Kachemak is a tiny community of 800 people across the bay from Homer on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. You'll drive the Sterling Highway 220 miles south from Anchorage to Homer, then take a water taxi across Kachemak Bay since no road connects the towns. Homer Airport is your closest flight option. The Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies operates from Kachemak's waterfront, conducting marine research in this scenic bay setting.
