- How Do I?
With the new beach policy in place, where can I drive?
ATTENTION CITY BEACH USERS
The final beach policy defining where people may drive on local beaches passed at the February 22nd Homer City Council meeting and went into effect February 23rd, 2016.
Ordinances 16-05(S-2)(A-2) and 16-13 prohibit driving or parking on all City beaches and storm berms with the following exceptions:
- People may drive to the west, or right, of the parking lot area on Bishops Beach;
- People may drive on the beach from Mariner Park to the west up to the east end of the seawall for the purposes of gathering sand or coal ONLY from October 1st through March 31st. This area is closed to driving during the summer months and during bird migrations.
- The bottom of Old Airport Beach Access Road (off Kachemak Drive) where it meets the beach is closed to vehicles.
(Drivers are reminded to respect private property located on many of our beach areas.)
ALL OTHER BEACHES WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF HOMER ARE NOW CLOSED TO VEHICLE USE OF ANY KIND.
This includes no driving on the berm in front of Beluga Slough east of the Bishops Beach parking lot;
no driving on Homer Spit beaches unless it is the coal picking area west of Mariner Park during the permitted months;
and no vehicular beach access at the bottom of old Airport Beach Access Road off Kachemak Drive.
Beach front property owners may obtain a permit from the Homer Police Department to perform maintenance on their property. Permits will be available beginning on April 1st, 2016.
