Spit

Nope, this post is NOT about the act of forcibly expelling through the mouth, well, not really. The Homer Spit is a geographical landmark located in Homer, Alaska on the southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula. The spit is a 4.5 mile long piece of land jutting out into Kachemak Bay.  The Spit features the longest road into ocean waters in the entire world, taking up 10-15 minutes to cover by car.  That is where we spent our day.
