Where is Kachemak Bay?
Kachemak Bay is on the southern part of the Kenai Peninsula - about 200 miles south of Anchorage and eight miles south of Homer. Pratt Museum is located on the shore of Kachemack Bay. The bay is encircled by mountains, glaciers and active volcanoes. The region's four national parks, five national wildlife refuges and assorted state parks and critical habitat areas support wildlife that ranges from seabirds and sea lions to brown bears and the endangered humpback whale. Kachemak Bay is the largest of 23 sites in the U.S. National Estuarine Research Reserve System and the only one in Alaska.
