Welcome to the Salty Dawg Saloon on the Homer Spit in Homer Alaska
Website:
The Salty Dawg started out as one of the first cabins built in 1897, soon after Homer became a town site. It served as the first post office, a railroad station, a grocery store, and a coal mining office for twenty years. In 1909 a second building was constructed, and it served as a school house, post office, grocery store. And at one time, it housed three adults and eleven children.
It was acquired in the late 1940′s by Chuck Abbatt to be used as an office for Standard Oil Company. In April of 1957, he opened it as the Salty Dawg Saloon. The late 1950′s produced a change for the Salty Dawg Saloon by joining this building to it.
The Alaska Territory became the 49th state of the union in January 1959.
Earl Hillstrand, the late State Representative, purchased it in 1960. After the March 1964 Good Friday earthquake, he moved the structure to its present location. The distinctive lighthouse tower was added to cover a water storage tank, thus completing one of Homer's more historical and recognizable landmarks.
The Salty Dawg Saloon that we know today is owned and operated by John Warren.

Homer Alaska Tour of Spit, Shopping, Beautiful Beach & Cruise Port (4K)
Homer Alaska was one of our favorite ports during our June 2017 Alaska cruise aboard the Holland America Amsterdam. There was a free shuttle bus (school buses) provided by HAL (see the ride here: ) that took guests from the pier to the famous Spit area of Homer. Once there, there were plenty of interesting places to shop and peruse. There was even a nice beach that we didn't expect which provided absolutely gorgeous views of the Kachemak Bay.
Other highlights included the City of Homer Port & Harbor marina where we saw a cute River Otter, the Seafarer's Memorial, and the Salty Dawg Saloon. There were tons of visitors from other parts of Alaska there as well, taking advantage of the Homer campgrounds.

Homer (Alaska) - In Another Minute (324)
- - Homer, Alaska, is a fishing village and tourist hot spot at the southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula. While it has only about 5,000 permanent residents, it has quite a few nicknames: Halibut Fishing Capital of the World and the cosmic hamlet by the sea and the end of the road.
The only road leading into town is Sterling Highway, aka Alaska Highway 1, which connects Homer with Anchorage, 225 miles to the north. Homer has been compared to Key West because of its similar setting of being at the end of a single highway and surrounded by water - you just have to dress a lot warmer in Alaska.
Last week, I got to discover this eclectic town when I was filming Tessa Drais and her family for my ongoing documentary project All's Well and Fair. I will remain forever grateful that she moved to such an enchanting place and gave Scott and me reason to visit and explore.
Homer, Alaska, was first established in 1898 as a settlement for gold miners by Homer Pennock. The miners remained unsuccessful, and the town quickly turned to fishing. Today, Homer is probably best known for halibut fishing, which tourists can participate in by choosing one of many day and half-day charters. Another option is fishing for salmon out in Kachemak Bay or along the rather unique Nick Dudiak Lagoon (aka the fishing hole). This man-made rectangle, off the bay on Homer Spit, was stocked years ago, and now draws the adult salmon back every year. It seems almost literally like shooting fish in a barrel - especially on the days when snagging is allowed. The seals also know how easy it is to grab a salmon off your hook. So watch out!
A lot of the footage was shot on and off Homer Spit, a gravel bar that extends from the main part of town into Kachemak Bay. This is where you will find the marina, the lagoon, restaurants like the excellent Little Mermaid, the famous Salty Dawg Saloon, shops on stilts, a boat graveyard, tons of RVs and tents, and the opportunity to watch bald eagles, sea otters and whales at play. While on Homer Spit, you can book fishing and sight-seeing tours and water taxi trips over to Halibut Cove, from where you can hike up to a glacier. We chose a ride-along on one of Mako's Water Taxis and got very lucky when Lance allowed us to stay on the boat for a second ride and then took us over to Seagull Island, where we saw all the breath-taking wildlife featured in the video Kenai Peninsula (Alaska) - In Another Minute (Week 232) and the whale featured in this video. Thank you again, Lance!
The Tardis, however, landed along East End Road on the mainland.
Homer has many Bed & Breakfasts. But if you're planning to visit in the summer, make sure you book early because they fill up quickly. The opening shot, I filmed from our private balcony at the Majestic View Bed & Breakfast, which also offered fantastic breakfast and a captain with a boat you can hire for whale-watching and fishing tours. For our last night, we managed to get the last available room in town at the Whalesong Bed & Breakfast. A place just as charming, but in walking distance to downtown restaurants, bars and the movie theater, instead of up on the hills with a view.
I shot the video in 4k on a Panasonic GH4 - except for the footage of the humpback whale, which Scott shot in 1080p on my beloved little Sony. Because my current computer isn't capable of editing 4k footage, this whole video is finished in 1080p. I'm still amazed how much better the down-converted 4k footage looks. If you'd like to see this and future videos in full 4k (or UHD to be more precise), please help me raise funds for the web series via its Patreon page: THANK YOU!
By the way, most of the footage from Homer Spit was shot between 10pm and midnight. During the day, it's still quite a lot brighter.
