HOMER HARBOR YURT From mid-June through August, you can find us every day on the Homer Spit. Our yurt is the place to find out about our daily schedule of tours and special educational events, make a reservation, check in for your Peterson Bay tour, share your observations of birds, whales, or spineless critters; buy a t-shirt, or learn about our non-profit work. The yurt is at the entrance to Ramp 2 of the Homer Harbor (first parking lot and harbor ramp past Coal Point Seafoods on the left from Homer or past the HarborMaster office and restroom complex on the right from Land's End. We're behind a bright yellow Mako's Water Taxi sign and next to True North Kayaks). |
