Islands & Ocean Visitor Center in Homer, Alaska

Islands & Oceans
Visitors Center

This Visitor Center was funded by

the City of Homer, Alaska &

 federal funding procured by

 deceased Senator Ted Stevens.

Oceans and Islands is home to the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge and the Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve.  

Visitors are invited to join
the voyage of discovery.

Displays show the make up of

the land in the reserve.

People at the Kenai Peninsula
in skin covered kayaks.

Russians arrive in the 18th

century in search of furs.

The Battle of Attu in World War II

left scars on the land & lots

of abandoned military equipment.

Today people explore the

the Kenai Peninsula in kayaks

made from man made materials.

Eric and I walk Beluga Slough Trail adjacent to the Visitor Center.

We walk out onto the
salt marsh on a metal
grated trail.

 Eric scans for birds as he walks the trail.

One of the neighbors shows
an eclectic flair in decorating
around the property.

This RV has taken on a

very rustic look.

Eric & I enjoy the rest of our walk..
