Homer Spit Parking Updates 2024

Safety improvements, a new parking lot, and more new bus parking/loading zones are on the way!

2024 Parking Updates for the Lots between Ramps 3 to 5

To enhance safety and efficiency, vehicles exceeding 20 feet in length are now prohibited in this area. A new parking lot behind Bob’s Trophy Charters is dedicated to oversized vehicles, with safer exits onto the less trafficked Outer Dock Rd.

Parking delineation will be installed separating parked vehicles from the main Homer Spit Road and creating designated entrances and exits, marked by black parking pylons. This delineation enhances visibility and safety until September for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers wanting to enter the roadway.

2024 Parking Updates Ramp 2 Restrooms and New Bus Loading/Parking zones

The Bus Loading Zone near Ramp 2 has been replaced with 8 new free short-term, 1-hour, parking spaces in the heaviest summer congestion area on the Spit.

This area was too congested and frequently blocked making it hard for large buses to use. Three new spacious zones, conveniently near walking trails and shops, now serve as bus parking and loading/unloading areas. Locations include the corner lot at Homer Spit Rd/Fish Dock Rd, in front of the Chamber of Commerce booth near Ramp 4, and at the newly created Lot West parking area.
