From Outside Alaska
The quickest way to get to Alaska is to fly, once in Alaska use the many commuter flight services. The most pleasant is a long leisurely drive up the Alaskan/Canadian Hwy.  It’s 2,500 miles and takes 50 hours if you only stop for gas.  A better time frame is about 2 weeks.  Another way to reach Homer is via the ferry, which takes about 3-4 days.  It leaves from Bellingham Washington all summer.

From Within Alaska
From Anchorage follow the Seward Hwy (AK-1) South about 90 miles. At the junction to Seward, stay right then travel another 130 or so miles. Once in Homer, stay on the Hwy. (Bypass) and follow it out to the Homer Spit. Mariner Park is at the base of the Spit on the right.

  Where to Stay
Participants can camp at Mariner Park (fee) or find a local B&B or hotel. Ocean Shores Motel has offered KiteFest participants a 15% discount. (thanks Tom!) Also check out Bird Bay Hideaway in town. This is a full private house for a great deal. The Cheapest places in Homer with a shower and bed are the Homer Hostel and Seaside Farm
